    Wrong because the 300 won't make the most of the high octane, you'll get carbon build up because you're not getting the right combustion temps because half your combustion is happening in your exhaust.
    i'll start and finish with: wrong, because science,
    and leave you to enlighten yourself

    Can't agree sorry. And the dyno doesn't lie.

    No no no, don't listen to this guy. It's not practically relevant.

    Just do this:

Either option should be fine, run a few tanks of 91 then 95 and compare the km's you get from each tank.
    Can I scream?

    Too late, the original poster was clearly confused, and just played it safe and used diesel instead.
