Heh, since Edmunds competes with Car and Driver for automaker ad dollars and has their own forums, you might get the cold shoulder by mentioning our forums.
 
Maybe they'll edit that part out and get back to you.

Good point, Steve, but at least they have the whole story. Let's see if they do anything.

I started this thread after reading an article in European Car that showed a dyno increase in h.p. as the result of using premium gasoline where not required. In summary, I wrote Car & Driver to suggest they conduct another test, quoted in an earlier message.
 
All to no avail, and I'm signing off. I don't know the answer definitively, and probably never will . C&D never reacted.

A journalist would like to speak to someone who fuels up with 85 octane and has experienced engine issues or a weaker performance at lower elevations because of it. If you use or have used 85 octane, and would like to share your story with a reporter, please send your daytime contact info to predmunds.com no later than Wednesday, June 20 at 2 p.m. Pacific/5 p.m. Eastern.
