well barnoun... don't know what subculture will say... but MY logic is that since our car has a knock sensor and my ignition is advanced and I'm climbing up hill with the a/c on with three people in the car, the car will retard the timing at the first glimpse of any pinging/detonation which i know happens sometimes when going up hills regardless when the load on the engine is high... therefore the octane prevents that from happening and allows more power in the uphill climb....

does that sound like a reasonable answer?
