Subject:      I-4 conversion / 87 or 91 octane ?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hi Volks!
The eternal question:
can I run my Eurospec I-4 on 87 octane during the summer w/o damaging the
engine?


I am getting 24mpg and great performance on 91 octane, but my pocketbook is
screaming bloody murder. $1.85 for a gallon of premium in Kansas City,
Missouri.
This summer, my family and I will start out on another  3 months grand
adventure, first Ocracoake Island on the Outer Banks, then Colorado, Utah,
Idaho, maybe Banff. But the way the gas price is developing, I don't know
how far our budget will allow us to go. Please tell me that I can run the
Westy on 87 octane.


Thanks,
Hermann de Boer
Kansas City,Misery
87 Westy GL (277 000)
2.0lEurospec conversion (45 000)
