[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 961698, member: 5529"] Actually you are doing the exact opposite of what you are supposed to do in the winter. For your car ,unless you are driving it hard, you could get by on a lower octane like 87. Higher octane is to prevent engine knocking (pre detonation) in vehicles with the compression ratios that need it. If you're easy on the throttle, not pulling loads or climbing big hills, you can get by with the less expensive lower octane. And you're fuel mileage will go down in a car that doesn't need higher octane as it's harder to ignite. And no gas, free of moisture, will freeze. You could get by with the lower octane and a bottle of Heat added just as easily. Long story short you're pissing your money away. [/QUOTE]
