spldart, I suggest you read this before saying much more. It was written in the mid 90's (that's 20 years ago, but it's just as accurate then as it is now). I read it in about 1999, and remember many of the basics. It's loooong read, but a worthwhile read.
OR ... you can just continue to flush money down the commode.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/autos/gasoline-faq/part1/Subject: 3. What Advantage will I gain from reading this FAQ? This FAQ is intended to provide a fairly technical description of what gasoline contains, how it is specified, and how the properties affect the performance of your vehicle. The regulations governing gasoline have changed, and are continuing to change. These changes have made much of the traditional lore about gasoline obsolete. Motorists may wish to understand a little more about gasoline to ensure they obtain the best value, and the most appropriate fuel for their vehicle. There is no point in prematurely destroying your second most expensive purchase by using unsuitable fuel, just as there is no point in wasting hard-earned money on higher octane fuel that your automobile can not utilize. Note that this FAQ does not discuss the relative advantages of specific brands of gasolines, it is only intended to discuss the generic properties of gasolines.
