Octane Injection for Turbo Cars.
I run my car in peaceful and easy mode most of the time. It is only occasionally that I tip into the turbo.
It seems to me that if this is how most performace cars are opperated, then most of the high octane fuel is wasted.
Once the car is rolling at a steady state, I would think that the octane used to support the turbo operation is not needed.
If we can inject oil directly into the engine, and if we can inject water to tame the flame, and further, we inject NO2, then why can't we run low or medium grade fuel in the tank with on demand (depending on the boost pounds and engine needs) octane injected as needed?
Any thoughts from the engineers?

Sounds like a complicated alchy/methy setup. There is no reason really. Im looking at doing propane or alchy/methy (just recently) injection so i can run premium even at the track at 18+psi safely daily
