You can answer your own question by trying the 110 fuel. It's to expensive for a car that can't take advantage of it, and not conveniently available (oh yea, it will ruin; O2 sensors, cats, spark plugs, and help to rot out the exhaust)

I'll take snorque over porkpower any day unless it leads to desperation,which we know wastes fuel or that dreadrd pre injectalition which we know is caused by over-stmulating the fuel injectors.So choose wisely want snorque run the risk of desperation.So in desperation you may experience pre-injectalition because of some hot injectors

My point was that Mark said detonation does not occur in an internal combustion engine

Yep,from my experience that's the absolute truth when comparing torque to HP.
