[DML] Re: Re fuel



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

My two owner's mauals both say that 91 octane is the correct fuel to put in the D.
