Re: Fuel question



NicoT> I read in the Muir Idiot's Guide that we can run cheap gas in our 
=> cars (octane 84 instead of 91) if we adjust the timing to the left 
=> (?) a degree or two. Any comments on this?

It will work, but you should expect a noticeable loss of performance and 
probably shorter head life. All costs considered, I don't think it's 
worthwhile. Remember, lower-octane fuel burns *hotter*.
