Re: [DMCForum] Fuel requirements



I was told a rule of thumb by my old mechanic that 87 octane is good 
enough for four cylinders, 89 for six, and 93 for eight cylinders. 
That's probably wrong, though, so I'd like some clarification. However, 
I've used 89 Octane fuel in all my six-cylinder engines after trying 
both ends of the spectrum and believe that it's a good match for fuel 
economy and efficient burning.

Off-topic note: Happy birthday to Gene Roddenberry, author of the most 
famous split infinitive of all time. ;)
