Not so fast. Another main point of APC/Trionic is to cut back on boost to *allow* the car to run with lower quality gasoline. Of course, performance will suffer, but the engine will not. However, FWIW, the Aero has a "Minimum 92 Octane" sticker on the inside of the fuel door. Personally, I have always heeded this recommendation. -Doug
