960 octane survey 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Boxter on  Thu Jan 15 03:15 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 95 960, and always use regular, lower octane gas, no problems whatsoever. I will only buy gas from reputable companies to avoid dirty gas or lousy pumping equipment. My brother is a chemical engineer with an oil company, and he has shown studies that clearly show that while one receives a marginal increase in mileage and power, using regular has no long or short term deposit or adverse effect on a car engine. Consiuder it like bottled water vs tap water from a good area. it tatses better and may have been filtered, but it doesn't kill us to drink from the tap. Save you money and spend the savings on synthetics. FWIW.
