Race fuel doens't just mean getting a higher octane, its about getting a cleaner, better quality fuel. Race fuel is a cleaner product compared to a lot of pump gas out there and would be better for your motor. You can match race fuel to the octane requirements you need. Fuels like VP C10 are 96 octane and would burn much cleaner than pump fuel and would not cause any lose in power like a high octane fuel that is not needed. When people think of race fuel they automatically assume it equals higher octane and thats not the case. Most people that run race fuel because they require a higher octane and thats the only option, but they make fuel for lower octane ratings for guys that want an overall better product to use for their motors to squeeze more life out of them.
