Careful with anything over 100 octane as they most of the time need to add lead to raise the octane ratings. Using 100 octane in a climate that's very humid and cold is just throwing away money since it will do absolutely nothing for you. Heck even 94 octane would pretty much be a waste. You're better off saving the extra cash and spending it on the S in other ways.

Hot and dry climates need some iridiums and colder plugs which would prevent any real knock and smooth the engine even with 91 octane. I'm sure with the money you save in one year from using 91 octane instead of 91/100 mix, u can buy the one step colder plugs that will last you 3 years and provide the same benefits.

BTW, Lead + CAT and O2 senors = useless cat and O2 sensors that will need to be replaced
