HI ALL BRICKSTER`S!

I have read Your comments and interested a lot of just two issues: Those octans, am I right when i presume, that you has different norms RON?? We use MON. Our octans in Europe are between 90-99. In Russian they have 84-87 gas in the country sides, in near highways ,there is modern gas-stations oct 95-98. But if the B23F ( 10.3:1 comp.?) runs perfectly with 87 gas (no oct boosters) what is the ign.timing? Your "super" is 91 ? I think it is same that our`s 98? Our`s VOLVO`s , which are CR 8.6 goes with 95, that is the LOWE`st octane in FINLAND.All cars which has ECU, and IGNITION system cared with the "computer" handles low octanes, just the power comes out fully in the higher octans. EX. if we have BMW M-3 YM 93, it RUNS using 95, but all the 340 hp is available just in 98. That I mean, if man wont to drive recular gas it is OK. In Volvo`s B-230F, fitted an anaemic M cam, there is NOT ANY REASON TO USE ANY HIGH OCTAN GAS. What is more inportant is the engines condition/ tune up. I am surprised, that price differents 10-20 cents to gall makes any spare in whole costs, maybe if YOU drive 30TH miles in the year. Then it is make sense buy a 240 Diesel. I am curiously, how much costs gas and diesel in overseas? We must pay 95 okt pr. $5.90, 98 is p.r 6.1 LITRES. US gall was pr. 3.85 litres, You all can count. So I mean that if I dont care any different`s of octan`s price, why You ? I think that it is MORE IMPORTANT, that You dont need repair engine, or suffer bad driveability. I think, that there is also quality differences in gas in ALL COUNTRIES. EX, some Benelux and French VOLVO`s engines are inside looking SAME condition, what our cars were in 70`s. They have modern OIL`s, so only reason can be in gas. Here in Finland, leader Magazine " Tekniikan Maailma" tests gasolines, when Europeans "smaller" Oil-Companys`came in our market and sell gas pr. 30% cheaper. Results were disaster of those, dirt in inlet valves so much, that the engines, if drive 70.TH KM using that quality, MUST REPAIR. All companies, wich were allready in FINLAND has everything in order, exept few of ESSO`s (EXXON) examples were not satisfaced, but not near of JET`s gas. In now a days situation is balanced, not WORSE gas and no cheap prises.( You must know that OUR BELOWED GOVERNMENT TAKES 70% tax in gas price.) Whatever, wheels are rolling in here, whithout expensive cars, spares and so on. Guess what the cheapest VOLVO costs in FINLAND? Model is S40 1.6l engine. You must forgive me all the language mistakes and I also understands, that THIS IS YOUR FORUM, I am just a visiter, and my intrest`s is not to HURT ANYONE. Just make a communication to all VOLVO drivers around the English speaking WORLD. Especially in USA. I had there far relatives, they had Past Away, and old friends are disappread. Thank You FEW peoples, who has send me POST. IT WARM`s REALLY. BTW: Here is +2C and not a bit of snow. Somewhere in Europe they had a White Christmas, not in most part SANTA`s LAND. YRS: WEBERMAN
