If you run either of those cars (Corvette or Camaro) on anything less than 93 your mileage craps out and the performance bogs.

Interesting!
I have my car registered on Honda's Ownerlink and the 10.5:1 compression ratio is reported in the technical info provided there.

I think I'm going to run a few tanks of premium (the extra cost is only about $3.20 per tank) and see if there's a noticeable difference.
