They need a hot version... sorta like the Renault R5 Turbo2 was to the LeCar. :P
Even most cars that "require" premium gas don't actually require it. I have a BMW that supposed requires premium gas. It doesn't. Most modern cars have anti-knock sensors that will automatically adjust your timing if the engine is igniting early. As long as your car isn't knocking or pinging, you'll be fine.
