Don't know if the octane is greater just some of the additives are better and maybe more of them Mark.

I am sure Elon wants to start this car up run down to get a newspaper on Sunday morning or an occasional drive to the Dairy Queen cruise. I would be surprised if that motor ever sees 4,000rpm's or 300 miles a year. JMO though.

I appreciate all of the insights and feedback. My &quot;take away&quot; from all of this discussion is it possible to drive the car with a bit of planning regarding the areas I will be driving to, and using the correct gas and or mixture of gas.
