Re: Octane Battle

the lower the octane the less efficient it burns leaving carbon buildup on the cilinder and piston- the higher the octane the less carbon buildup

You've got that backwards. Higher octane pump gas is usually harder to ignite, that's why it prevents engine knocking. Do a google search.
