Dick - I agree. Higher octane gas does not burn any cooler than low octane. The only difference is high octane is less susceptible to detonation (explosively rapid combustion early in the compustion process) than lower octane stuff. Further, fouling plugs is exacerbated by lower combustion temperatures. Therefore if high octane really did burn cooler, it would make premium gas MORE prone to foul plugs, not less. Your solution to switch to higher temperature range plugs if fouling is a problem is the cost effective solution. Spend $5 once time for plugs makes a lot more sense than spending an extra $4 on every 20 gallon tank of fuel (though the oil companies will probably not agree!). I burn the cheapest stuff I can get in my SH and SM - probably 300 gallons combined every year. Haven't fouled a plug yet.
