I think maybe 99metro is testing the theory that "the more potent the fuel, the bigger bang it generates, thus equaling more generated power per combustion event."

I, for one, believe it's completely logical to think one's mpg will increase with higher octane fuel. The opposite has rang true for E85, if I'm not mistaken...

That being said, I can barely bring myself to pay for regular at these prices, so I won't be using the "High Octane Mod" anytime soon!!!

@Chris D..Lengths are as follows for the hatchback Metro through 1994:
Length: 146.1 in.(89-91) 147.4 in.(92-94)
