I have searched the archives on this list as well as NASS but can find no thread. What is the general consensus as to grade of gasoline to use in our cars? Specifically I am talking about the 73-80 15009s with a standard engine and no special tuning modifications. Using unleaded( as I imagine we are all using these days, both side of the pond) in a non modified engine. In Canada we generally have 4 grades....87,89,91 & 94 octane. TIA for your input. Cheers, *** Philip *** 1975 Spitfire 1500 - FM32468U (otherwise known as CJ) Philip, Use the lowest octane grade that will not result in detonation. If you detect detonation and can't stop it by adjusting timing, go to the next higher grade until the detonation stopps.
