Are higher octane fuels better? Do higher octane fuels make more power? This video will include a test conducted by Shell to show the performance benefits of a higher octane fuel, if the car is capable of altering ignition timing.

Note: If a car is not capable of altering ignition timing, or recommends using lower octane fuel, it is unlikely that there will be a performance benefit from a higher octane fuel.
