Re: [DML] Type of fuel to use

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxx>]

It is my belief that recommendations such as this are
a bit of an over simplification. I suggest one use
that grade which gives (or seems to give) the best
performance, or even comfort level. 

A number of factors can influence that decision. Do
you drive "hard"? At what altitude do you do most of
your driving (we don't all live at sea level). Has
the car been modified in any way? ETC., ETc.!!

Use the grade that gives you the performance you want
and listen carefully for detonation. If you
experience pre-ignition, move up a grade and make sure
your car is properly tuned.
