Not so fast.  Another main point of APC/Trionic is to cut back on boost to
*allow* the car to run with lower quality gasoline.  Of course, performance
will suffer, but the engine will not.

However, FWIW, the Aero has a "Minimum 92 Octane" sticker on the inside of
the fuel door.  Personally, I have always heeded this recommendation.
