[Mgs] Overdrive Numbers

We call them  They even say that they know their engine doesn't need  it but 
they want to give it  'treat' once in awhile. idiots around  here...:-)
 
Know what? It extends to people that really should know better - racers.  
I've seen bunches of them filling up with 115 at the track when their engines  
have 11:1 and would probably run on 94.  They think it is somehow  'racier'.

Paul,  there's also the urban legend that high octane
fuel equals high  power.  Many people run their
89-octane-designed cars on 93 octane  fuel, at 20-30
cents a gallon more, expecting superior performance.  
There's also a belief amoung some, that 93 octane fuel
is more "pure"  than 89 octane - which is exactly the
opposite of  reality.
