hmmmm, I don't think I fell into the "myth" category but one item does have me thinking where you might have confused my more/less power statement as a generality on the gas itself.
Myth:
• High octane gasoline increases power.
If your car is designed to run on 87 octane gasoline, you shouldn’t notice any more power on high octane
gasoline.
It says "If your car is designed to run on 87 octane...."
Now, what about an engine specifically designed for a higher octane? I could be wrong but it still makes sense to me that the resulting automated timing adjustments in this particular case would result in slightly less power than what the car was designed for.
