No. And you should use either 86-87 depending upon what's available.

The only brand i dont use is Maverik, dont know if everyone knows what that is...but there was a story a while ago that you cant use it in lawnmowers cuz it eats the pison rings...so anything that eats lawnmowers rings isnt going in my car...

Other than that i just use 87...no need to waste the money, dont help with anything unless your running turbo/hi-compression stuff...
