[Mgs] Petrol

[Robert's New iPad]

	If your engine number has L as its last digit, and you are certain that the engine has not been modified, 87 octane is fine.
	If your engine number has H as its last digit, 89 octane is a safer choice.  
	With ignition max advance at 32 BTDC and in good tune, if engine knocks/pinks when you are climbing a hill at 2500 rpm, try a higher-octane blend.  
	My engine, 9.5/1 compression, likes 89.
