Common net.wisdom says the 92 unleaded is better, at least for the higher
compression engines. I use unleaded 92 in my GT6+ and TR250. According to
several folks on the net, valve damage from unleaded fuel isn't a problem.

Golly, neither is a problem when you go to the drivethru at McDonalds! As
for me, I just eat at Sonic - let the food come to me!

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I figure if your car doesn't have enough little
quirks to keep an uninformed person from driving it, it hasn't developed
character to its full potential yet!
