and as 636 racer said, it's not an octane sensor, but a knock sensor. I know how cars work. Thanks for that tidbit though.
Hey what can I say, you caught me using imprecise language.

To your implecation, how is lower octane pump gas more combustable versus something like MR9 (87 octane race gas)? I've also heard something similar to that 87 pump gas is more combustable than 92 pump gas. How? I havent any clue why.
Chemically between pump gas and race gas? I havent the clue how the bonds and bindings work with fuels. Even if I did, would you understand? If some rocket scientist went into detail about fuel...I'd be overwhelmed with terminology I've never heard of all the while lacking any understanding. I only understand the general idea that, when fuel is oxygenated, it displaces water, has a lower flash point, blah blah blah, making it highly more combustable. In this case, it's race fuel. Pump gas isnt oxygenated and takes more energy to ignite.

Well if the higher the octane than the more resistance it has, would this be a simple if then statement??

If lower octane then less resistance. That should equal easier combustable.

Basically it comes down to this: from a car standpoint I think the majority of the community will agree race fuel on a NA g35 will not yield much more over 93...however, if you want to talk about rocket science and how properties of race gas is this and that, this is the wrong place. It sounds like you believe something anyway regardless of what we say. If so, put in C16 and have fun...I wish I bothered to put race gas in my Supra...even then I kept it on 93 and she ripped any car I came across...

Makes sense. Though, there will be a loss in resistance to knock. I wouldnt use 87 pump in the G35. Then how is it that fuels of equal octane rating, like MR9 and 87 pump gas, differ in combustion?
