Sure, if you want to **** away your money. Unless you have raised the compression up to 14:1 save your money. It won't do anything.

you need to read up on octane.

All high octane does is slow down the rate of combustion. That way you can run a hotter motor and not detonate. It will do nothing for a car not tuned very aggressively for it.

It will not clean your injectors, it will not give you better gas mileage, etc.

Not sure how you are getting 10-15$/gallon gas for free, but if thats the case, tank it up and sell at the track for 8$/gallon.

If you have to ask then you don't have anything that needs high octane.

i run it in all the race bikes because they are tuned for it with high compression. My supercharged g35 works just fine on 93 because that's what i have it tuned for.

Ive been racing sports cars for the last 35+ years. I'm familar with racing gas. Wish I could get it for free. On a race weekend I spend about $500 just on race gas.

Can you? Sure. Are you tuned to take advantage of it? Probably not, if you are asking..
