higher octain is less explosive........ thus on higher compression engines it is req if you don't run it the gas will pre ignite and cause the piston to get slamed down before tdc. Running higher oct dosent do anthing for you if you engine dosent need it. like in the old v8 cars that i turned the timing 7-10 deg. then the higher octaine will help. i run 90 octaine in all my tractors as thats what they bring me from shell for the same price as 87. no alcohol and it has some addative in it to im not hure what it does? its shell 90 octain gas. in minnesota you don't pay the 20 cents mn tax. but you pay the fed tax of 17 cents or so but keep your recept as you can turn it in at the end of the year for a rebate. so farm gas in the end in minnesota is about 37-42 cents per gannon cheeper thn the pump. i filled my barrel last at 1.69 gallon. that was last march when it was 1.84 at the pump. some spots at the time were as low as 1.78
