Hey '94 GT owner, just wondering what gas rating you guys use. I've been using 87 and I think it's causing my engine to knock, so should I drive it untill its empty and start using 91?

It's not causing your engine to knock. Probably the ignition system. All the higher octane does in helping this condition is it has a better detonation. Like the other peeps said you should get it tuned first to make sure. Higher octane is better but not needed. Unless you feel it makes your car faster.  http://speedarticles.com/auto_racing_article-46.html This post has been edited by Toyolica: Dec 28, 2003 - 12:54 PM |
