87 OCTANE Switch on the EcuTune Stage 1 v4 chip
Please direct me to info or give your opinion here for the 87 octane switched option on the EcuTune Stage 1 v4 computer chip. I have utilized this chip for about 9 months....but never tried the 87 octane map. Please give me any positive ...or negative feedback for this option.. . .
 THANKS! Jim  P.S. I thought I had the answer to the high fuel price challenge these days through a fuel pill which would increase gas mileage....BUT the company was shut down (probably for good)...SO, I had kept using the premium fuel with the fuel pill...but now..the 87 octane option is looking more attractive!

Help!
Please tell or guide me to info about the performance of this 87 OCTANE switch....I can't find any substantial info about whether the switch is a good option or not?
Thanks...Jim

why don't you test it for us - since you have extensive mileage data already you would be the perfect candidate. I don't think there is much of any data on the network about it. Very few have bothered to use the 87 octane code at all.

NOT ME!.....Please...NOT ME!!!
After the gas pill fiasco..I'm not sure I'm the best evaluator!...HA! I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic or not....but I just assumed that since the chip was so apparently popular, that many had tried the switch...especially in light of the rising gas prices the last many months...
WELL...Maybe I just will test it...Maybe I can redeem myself........maybe...? Thanks, Jim

I was not being sarcastic. I think you would be the perfect person to test the switch. I am also wondering how it will affect mileage and performance since I will be using it soon (but for nitrous application)
