What I read somewhere is that the electronics that run the engine will compensate for lower-octane gas, so you don't get pinging...BUT over time low-octane gas does damage the engine.

Low Octane

In Kalifornia the best we can get is 91 octane, and it's with special formulation at that, so it pretty much sux. Filling up in Oregon once (on a trip) made a huge difference not only in performance, but better MPG too. |
