can you use higher octane than your car is tuned for? Like if you have a 91 tune and you tune it back to 87 (for what ever reason)... what result would that have?

Yes, it's just a waste of money to use higher grade than you need. No harm done though as long as we're not talking race fuel. Some cars make less HP on 100+ octane than they do on pump gas.
k cool... cuse i was thinking... What if i have 1/2 tank of 91 octane gas and its time to bring it into the dealer? I would reset it to stock and take it in (driving with an 87 stock tune on a tank of 91 octane gas). So it's all good to drive with higher octane (non race fuel) than your tune.
