Re: Which grade gasoline to use? 700 1989

David,

Thanks for the reply...I agree with what you are saying also. My point is simply that I have tried lower grade gasoline in my cars and the truly do appear to be "gutless". With that in mind, that is why I run the higher grade gas in my car. That is what I was trying to tell the person in the original post. If the car runs worse with lower octane gas (as he said his did), then why use it?? This should be a no-brainer. I simply prefer to go with experience (whether it be my own with my car or my Fathers experience in the dealership; These guys know from experience that these cars can advance ignition timing, reguardless of what these publications say) over literature (as I know for a fact that Haynes and Bentley aren't always accurate). Anyway, I guess that everyone should just run what works best for them in their gas tank. Thanks David...
