Something I think a lot about is how a salami company moved locations and suddenly all their product sucked. Until they realized a critical part of the curing was some old guy moving the salami between parts in the old factory taking forever. They didn’t actually know the recipe.

It’s not an issue. Higher octane allows for more advanced timing which allows for a more complete burn. More power, less emissions. However, fuel quality sensors and knock sensors are two key components to just about every vehicle in the past 10-15 years. These help it adjust.
