This will require a bit more explanation... But
If you are running MBT timing and have margin before you are knock limited, then you can safely run a lower octane fuel. However, this may be easy at light loads but at higher loads (and especially at low speed) knock will occur. Once your knock sensors detect it, timing will be retarded and engine efficiency will be reduced. All in an effort to save your engine.
