What year is your 928 ?? buying more Octane than you need causes a loss of power and money. Higher Octane fuel is not "better" it simply burns slower....

Very true jim,but very to convince the public about that.hell.............for road trips that are at normal interstate speeds I use the octane selector and set it for low octane fuel.really does not run that different at all and may even feel a little snappier at off throttle tip in when pulling away from a stop light.Takes a little edge off of the poor fuel mileage that it gets on road trips to see mom.

85 with all new Valves, the trip will be in the Ozarks Mo and AR. By now you know that most of the driving will be Spirited with other 928's. I for the most part after refreshing so much of my 928 and turning off my low octane switch that you are able to do in 85 /86 cars run 92 most of the time now.

I posted the list for others that may like to use the same brand.

Ispeed

It burns faster, so less burn time and less heat absorbed by pistons, head etc = running cooler.

THANKS for the list!!!

I'm glad you posted! I've been looking for a list like this.

I'm not as concerned about octane as I am ethanol or other additives our cars were not designed to run on.

WELL DONE!

Were on the same Page Thank you

I have no horse in this race (nor any choice, given California's fuel formulations) but is this going to turn into an engineering discussion about the evils of ethanol in gasoline, or a political one?

M. Requin

I for one hope technical. After spending half a year rebuilding or replacing every single small engine carburetor on our farm, that's a small bunch, which I never ever had to do before, and talking with small shop/large shop owners, all who say gasoline/ethanol blend is the culprit (and even some of the owner's manuals make the same claim), I would really be interested in a discussion on this list about this.

James Bailey

Fear not Martin your 928s carburetor will be just fine

Thanks for the link. I just added the station I use for ethanol free fuel.

rjr0928

Search - Low Octane Fuel Switch for the info, let me know it u find it

rjr0928

OK, found the low octane "switch" (wire loop). I run 91 (California 91) religiously, so I won't be making use of this device.
