Yes, my friend's 76 station in Redwood City offers 100-octane unleaded at the pump, too. However, on practically
any stock car, it will hurt performance rather than help.
It's only in the case where a car is dyno-tuned to run on a specific grade where there will be an improvement. Only then in the hands of a competent tuner will you reap the benefits of "more octane."
