I'm after octane booster because the best fuel you can even get here is premo.


Most octane boost is ~$20 for a tank.
The ST185 was built back in 91 and designed for premium fuel at best.
98 octane is good if you can get it but I wouldn't go throwing $20 bucks worth of octane booster in the tank every fill.

My recommendation... leave the octane boost for track days or occasions where you know you'll be thrashing the car hard.

If the car pings under normal use double check and reset your timing to factory specs.
You may also want to try different service stations in your area as the quality of their underground tanks and the frequency of refills can greatly effect the fuel quality.
