seems like stupid question, but Topeka sure as heck didn't have any 93.

I thought higher octane fuel actually had slightly less combustion energy... not enough to be significant in real life, but it's there.

That statement has nothing to back it up except my vague memory of thermo lab in school, but perhaps it might jog someone else's memory. And if that statement gets rebutted with facts, I refuse to tell you the name of my school. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
