[DML] Re: fuel



Hi!

I have always used the 95 octane, since this is closest to the 87/91.
No troubles at all!

I would *GUESS* that 98 won't pose any problems... what unleaded octane does other European DeLorean owners use? Has any had any experience with 98 octane?

Best wishes

Rob, Fuel octane in the U.S. is calculated using the formula
(R+M)Squared/2. I don't know how it is calculated in Europe. It is no
doubt different, as the European version of the owner's recommends a
different octane rating. Drive Stainless Robert VIN 6924

Here in
Holland, the only fuels we can get are 95 and 98 octane; this seems a
huge difference. Maybe they use a different formula over here..
