That's cool Ted, my question was answered and I'm fine with not running it in the 500E. I'm happy to get the feedback I asked for but the 'your so stupid' *****-slappin' just pushes my buttons...(and since I was one of the US Geological Survey's Project Chiefs for the North American Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA), Phase 1 & 2, for the Connecticut River Basin here in New England during the mid-90's; equating gas to water was the wrong place to go).
There's gotta be some sort of,albeit little at best, benefit to running a higher octane, even mixed with reg. pump gas...just not as much as I had hoped or thought...I'm certainly no petroleum engineer but where I grew up...all the muscle car gear heads would fill up with 104 octane CAM2 on a friday nite and race down at the turnpike....guess there's no real benefit in these new fangled, computer controlled cars...which is OK by me.
