[DML] Re: Re fuel

["robert parker" <roberthparker@xxxx>]

Yep, I've had that discussion before... The 91 is the "anti-knock index" 
that is recommended for the 87 octane. I talked to a fellow in the Texaco 
office about the Octane vs. anti-knock index. Octane rating is the 
comparison of volatility of a particular grade of fuel to the volatility of 
the 8-carbon, single-bond chain "Octane". It is derived from a formula of 
(R+M)Squared/2, which is used in the U.S. The DMC is a low compression 
engine, thus the lack of need for a higher octane rating. Check the manual 
again.(U.S. version).
Drive Stainless Robert VIN 6924
