Good thing since gas isn't cheap these days. However, is there a
problem in using higher octane fuels? Someone talked about modified engines
and missfires once. I have never heard of using too high of an octane
before here. What is the deal?
And by the way, for all of you who have responded to my inquires, I
can't thank you enough. It is great to see such friendly people who are
willing to educate outsiders all about DeLorean issues and keep the dream
alive for all us hopefuls. Thank you.
