"high elevation" gas is a lower octane, not needed up there because the thinner air creates lower cylinder pressures during the compression stroke. here (Salt Lake City, UT; 4200') premium is 91 and the cheap stuff is 87 or 85.. In the higher elevations of Colorado, I used to see 89 as premium, Reg was 83. John Aircooled.Net Inc. |
