Why premium?
Sorry if this has been discussed previously, but I'm curious as to why Mazda recommends premium for the RX-8 when all previous NA rotaries have only needed regular, and I seem to recall some talk of the engine performing better, under certain circumstances, with low octane. Someone told me the Mazda factory racers used to use a special racing blend with an octane rating of about 80.
I know there may be any number af reasons to use premium in the new engine design... just curious as to what those might be.
