This sounded to me like a load of crap. I use fuel octane 95 and my engine is v8 4.4 twin turbo 450hp. Any idea what is causing this
I don't know what's causing your issue, but it is true that it's good to run the engine hard/open her up sometimes to clear out carbon build-up from the engine through to the exhaust.
