Well, running higher octane gas certainly won't hurt your car.

RX-Revin: around here Sunoco sells 100 Octane Unleaded for about $4.25/gallon. Our cars LOVE that stuff!!! Oh, and it really smells different!!! Gotta love that race gas smell!

They also sell 110 leaded, I would advise against it...

Before I'm doing anything crazy in my car, raising boost beyond previous levels, or any secret sauce type experiments, etc I run the car down to about 1/8 tank and put 5 gallons of the 100 O stuff in to help guard against detonation.
