Understanding Octane Ratings
Octane ratings measure a fuel’s ability to resist “knocking,” or premature combustion in an engine.
Higher octane gasoline is more resistant to knocking, making it better for high-performance engines. Many luxury and sports cars require 93 octane gas for optimal performance.
However, not all cars need 93 octane gas, and using a higher octane than recommended may not provide any benefits. Aka money wasted.
Cars with tight engine tolerances, like turbocharged and supercharged engines, do best with higher-octane fuels.
Therefore you will see more sport and luxury-oriented cars requiring premium gasoline because their engines often have the tightest tolerances.
