Hi Here it goes one more time! 91 octane by European standard - research method. It is equal to EXACTLY 87 in the US - research + motor / 2 method. You can see it on every gas pump. It says 87 octane rating R+M/2. To all of you in the US - use the 87 octane fuel. By using anything higher you are just wasting money and actually hurting the engine. To all you in Europe - use 91 octane fuel (if you can find it). DO NOT use anything with lower rating and TRY NOT to use anything with higher rating. I hope this helps Tom Niemczewski tomcio@xxxx VIN 6149 Save the dream so you can live the dream... ----- Original Message ----- From: "thinkstainless" <stldrgn@xxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 11:49 PM Subject: [DML] Taking Delorean Out of Storage > Hey Guys, > > I'm going to be getting my Delorean back soon, and its been sitting > in "storage" for over a year and a half with a full tank of gas in > it.
