Very common misconception, that. Everyone seems to think they'll get more power instead of less when they use higher octane. Even racers that should know better.

So you need more pressure (compression) to get it to fire efficiently. This can generally correlate to poorer gas milage. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Mgs@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/mgs http://www.team.net/archive |
