How nice would high octane gas be?

I ran 87E10 in an 11.3 engine for two years with no problems.
I then swapped out the 292/292/108 cam for a 270/280/110 and reduced the Cr to 10.9, and ran that for two years, still on 87E10 still with no problems
I then swapped that cam out for a 276/286/110 and left the Scr alone, and still running that today 11 years later, and still on 87E10, and still no problems.
That is 15 years of no troubles.
During the first 5 years,every winter I took that engine apart and checked it out, and it had no fuel related problems.
That engine has Eddies on it and has run timing from 32 to 36. without problems. I run it at 32, cuz my but-dyno cannot tell the difference in power since it usually spins those crappy 295s to past the speed limit no matter what timing I have run.
I am at 950 feet here.

Maybe all that water is turning to steam inside my engine and that is why I have all this power. They say the power of steam is incredible. Naw I think not, my pistons and valves were always all carboned up, cuz I ran her a tad fat.You know, just in case somebody put too much alcohol in the batch.Or paint thinner.Or some other more volatile petroleum distillate.
I couldn't give a chit about octane.

But I can see the engine manufactures wanting to get a higher octane fuel, so they can run a higher Scr so they can get the same power out of a tinier engine. Yeah that's right; give us ever tinier engines that can barely hit 65 mph,forget about passing . Maybe they will just turbo everything. Then we can all buy new turbos at regularly scheduled intervals, and stay forever broke, hit by a double whammy of extra-high gas costs and higher maintenance costs.
Hyup, I'm glad I'm 64 this summer, and semi retired. I feel bad for the young people tho............They will have to work themselves to death, never making a final payment on anything.They may never actually own their homes. They will be paying interest till the day they die. They will buy a second hand car,on payments, and it will wear out before it's paid for. Anything else they buy is crap or will be in a few hours. They cannot afford children. There is no more joy in the world, for them, only work,work,work.
Oh sorry, I kindof got off track there for a second.......h
