Of course drag racing is not the same thing as street use, but they have ONE 
thing in common: the desire for the most power possible.
Hence, any method of increasing said power can be directly applicable to 
both forms of automotive use.

Yes.  That was, uh, my point.

If you are implying that a higher octane fuel burns more violently, you are 
mistaken.
I disagree with that one statement in whole; put alcohol in your car 'right 
now', and it won't run at all.
Your car's fuel system is not calibrated for it.  :)
Put 110 octane in your car and, unless your ignition system has provisions 
for changing advance according
to input from a knock sensor, your engine will run exactly like it runs now 
(providing, of course, that your engine
isn't suffering from detonation at this time).

I'm sticking with logic here: cold fuel should mean more power and a slow, 
controlled burn means no detonation and more power.
You'll probably not be able to sway me without VERY convincing proof, 
which...so far...has not been forthcoming.
