I always run the highest octane I can get. Starts better, runs better,
better fuel mileage, cleaner intake and injectors over the long haul, and
only about $6 to $8 dollars more per tankfull. Better than any additive I
can buy.

Just my .02

With other cars (never a problem with my XJ), when I have had pinging
on a full tank of gas, I have added a few mothballs (nitrobenzene)
into the tank. It has not shown any harm to the engines of several of
my own or other family members' cars/trucks, and some permanently cut
to a lower-than-reccommended octane by adding a few at each fill-up.

....and their woolen seat covers seem to last longer, too.
