Re: [DML] Re: Delorean Fuel

[Nathan Robinson <nathanrobinson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I kinda hate to bring up the whole Volvo/DMC PRV-6 thing agian... but
I have a question about the fuel used in said engine, as there are
some very knowledgable people on this list.

As I have said earlier, I have a 1980 Volvo 264 GLE (close enough of
the same PRV-6 engine.)

Now. My manufacturers book states to use 91 octane, however it doesn't
specify as to which continent. Would I presume this to be the European
octane rating? There is a significant difference in price, so I'm
somewhat interested if it would be considered safe to run 87 Oct. in
the PRV-6 engine.

To my knowledge, I do not have a knock sensor in the engine, so I am a
little weary , and have always run 91+  Oct. in my car, consequently
making fillups very expensive.

What say ye?
