BTW, what is the general consensus on fuel grade? Is there any benefit to 91 octane or will 87 work? I personally notice mild seat-of-pants non-scientific improvement in uphill performance when running 93 Octane, but probably only because I am running advanced timing on my '85 Westy. I don't think the WBX has high enough compression to use the higher-grade fuel to its full advantage, so I run regular most of the time and can still cruise at 80 on a flat road with some breathing room left.
