and detonation isn't a problem?.... it should be really hard on the pistons
to do that... quality fuel and High compression is a winning
combination....low octane and high compression is an opportunity to run
over your crankshaft.....

See Geoff Healeys comments on bad gas in the US and running on after

Yeah there is nothing about this that should work... especially with no
