hi,
i live in las vegas where 100-octane is available at the pump.
in my experience with filling up the tank in my completely stock '02 with the stuff, it was a waste of $5/gal. and that was in the summertime 100+ degree heat. there was no discernible difference in power or any other aspect of operation.
my advice is dont even bother with the stuff. the only possible advantage could be the capability to run high boost pressure on the street with a heavily modified (obviously turbo or supercharged) engine.
hope that might clear anything up.
