This brings up a lot of questions. What is considered high compression now days? All these modern engines are using variable valve timing. So if you are 10:1 compression or higher and your engine control module can adjust for it, why not run 91/93 all the time? It will add timing and increase your output. I see no waste of money in this simple power adder.
Maybe some of the engines we are seeing problems with (timing chains, etc...) are because the low octane fuel is causing retardation below the threshold of the ECU. It bottoms out and can't adjust enough.
