Re: Gasoline / Octane (score: 1): Author: "Bob D." <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 23:00:07 -0500; A think some MGB owners are incorrectly assuming that they can use regular just because the engines are four cylinder.

Your mistake is commonly made by the public at large, who think that higher octane must be better and will give them more power, more hair, less midriff bulge.; /html/mgs/2002-04/msg00931.html (9,138 bytes)

Just out of curiosity, why run 11:1? What sort of racing are you doing? the most efficient; /html/mgs/2002-04/msg00935.html (7,975 bytes)
