The compression ratio of your engine determines the octane rating of the gas you must use in the car. One way to increase the horsepower of an engine of a given displacement is to increase its compression ratio. So a "high-performance engine" has a higher compression ratio and requires higher-octane fuel.
Guess we can stop the quote there. Unless you have done some work to your engine (the oil changes don't count) and have an actual NEED for the octane, you don't need to buy it.

If you read your car manual it will tell you what gas your car must use. The manufacturer (even GM engineers are not complete idiots) has some clue and wouldn't tell you to use 87 octane when your car needs something higher. Guess what - YOUR CAR DOES NOT NEED 91 OCTANE GAS. You are welcome to buy it however thinking that you're increasing the power

Supercharge options come for 78-80, 93-98 and 99-03 for 3400 and 3100 engines and well the grand prix 3800 with the stock option, those are the ones that i know of at the moment. The one i have is RSM vortec s/c 8lb kit and its pretty cheap its like $1400 and you can even install it with a little mod to the front rad fan and with the grand prix's yes it does require you to use 91 or 94 octane where applicable, but hey for 275 hp i like it and it may not be much but i dont go showing off or driving like a jackass racing everyone i see on the road. No i do not have pics as it was installed in the late fall and i rather not take pictures of my car for certain reasons as i have gotten them stolen and used on other forums in the past, believe it or not cause i could care less but i may see some of you at St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta later on in the year.

You are the last person that would know anything about my "car" and its status or what is done to it. For all you know, It could be complete, or it could be in 5000 pieces. So for the sake of arguing or giving you the response you want I will just play along with you. Everything you said is correct.

1. My heap doesn't run or never will.
2. I take the TTC everywhere.
3. I dont have an education.
4. I dont have a job.
5. I dont have a girlfriend.
6. I dont have any friends.

You are better than me, can you sleep better at night now stealthz?

When you wake up to reality let me know.
