If you run too much octane without enough compression and ignition to burn it off youll just load motor full of carbon deposits

mtbspeedfreak, That's interesting about using higher octane in hotter weather, is that your idea or is it common knowledge?
Because I normally run 89 octane always, and today when I was running the 87 oct. in 90 deg. weather I could hear a little pinging on take offs.

Local for me would be a fifteen mile (one-way) ride to pay $4.99/gallon for ethanol free 92 octane.
