Re: Anyone paying less than 2 bucks a gallon??
Bin lurkin,<br />You are right any car that is imported into the USA will " run properly "on 87.<br />The problem with most high performancr cars today is that to make the most horsepower they need high octane. When running on 87 most motors retard the timing after listening to your motor ping. This is what the knock sensors are for.<br /> For most driving you can use 87 but there is a reason that the manufacurers recomend the good stuff on cars with high performance motors.
