I would think about resetting your base parameters to adjust for the new higher resistance to burn (octane rating) fuel. I cannot find a way to do this without a Consult. I will supply you with a recent thread where I posted the complete instructions on how to set your base value. It is a little intensive and and will take you a few tries but for optimum performance you may want to try.
