Use regular in NA engine 850 1997

davidm,

Are you sure about this? I thought higher octane fuels were designed to increase the energy required to INITIATE detonition of the fuel/air mixture. Your answer indicates that higher octane fuels slow the RATE of burn.

Can you clarify this?

Thanks.

Ken
