Re: [DML] Re: Failed emmissions AGAIN

[<delornut@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think, aside from combustion chamber carbon deposits,  is the fact that 
high test premium gas is formulated to burn more slowly to prevent 
detonation in high compression engines. Regular gas burns faster and if all 
else is right with the engine and the emission numbers are ALMOST correct 
then using regular could possibly make the differance in passing emisssions. 
It's certainly a quick and easy thing to try and doesn't cost anything as 
compaired to throwing parts at your engine.
