Great info thanks for doing these tests! I didn't know the stabilizer would lower the octane. Running a supercharger myself, this helps.

Dan, thanks for sharing the info. Did I miss if this was non-ethanol?

The only unknown in all of this was what were the octanes to start with? At least the samples that have been setting.
