high octane fuel in monte ss

Sep 23, 2005 2 Replies

Hi



I have a monte carlo ss with the SC 3.8



It requires premium fuel, 91 minimum. Next weekend I will be near a station that sells 100, and 105 octane fuel. Would a tank of 100 or



105 be good for the car, or cause me problems? If RITA causes fuel to go back up to over $3, the high octane fuel cost wouldn't be much more than 93 octane.

I doubt that the engine would benifit from a octane rating greater than 93 or so, save your money.
