Did I call him a liar? It sure is great that you are putting words in my mouth. Have you ever heard of a placebo? It is commonly accepted that higher octane does not produce more hp in an engine that doesn't need it.

What does aviation fuel have to do with the discussion? I personally don't give a rats ass if you or anybody else wants to waste their money. I have watched with my own eyes my friend Nova (14:1) go slower on 114 octane gas than it did on 110. Maybe my eyes wern't reading the time slip correctly.
