Tuning for lower octane will produce less power but your engine will love you if you are buying mislabeled gas.

As per Senna-F1, running higher octane fuel than what the car is tuned for will have no effect. You waste a little money buying unneeded octane but the engine won't notice. No worries.

TBatt and bimbimbop like this.
