Funny...
When i had my Mustang GT with a Paxton blower on it i had to run
91octaine or better in my car so i would avoid detonation, i had worse
gas mileage because my car was designed to run on 87. When i spun the
bearings in my supercharger and sent it off to be rebuilt i still had
worse gas mileage running the 91 or better gas. I decided i wouldnt get
the supercharger back for almost a month so i ran the 87 again and my
gas mileage went back up 3 MPG.
You are not getting better MPG or power running the gas you are using,
you just think you are Japheth.
The delorean can only burn what it is designed for and the rest goes
out the exhaust pipes.
