Time to drop those compression ratios again?

Building engines for lower octane

With premium unleaded going over the $4 mark, maybe it's time to take a break from high compression?


As awesome as a good 10:1 or 11:1 engine sounds, with premium fuel prices skyrocketing like everything else, how many guys out there are building/rebuilding their engines with lower compression ratios so they can get away with running lower octane gas?
