Re: Unleaded fuel & octane (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 25 Oct 1997 21:16:54 -0700; John, My experience is that on engines that have 8:1 or less compression, regulat (87 octane) fuel seems to be ok. As the compression goes up, however, octane requirement increases to the point where; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg02224.html (8,496 bytes)

As long as your engine doesn't ping under acceleration, there is no need to use a higher grade of gas. The anti-ping characteristic is the o; /html/triumphs/1997-10/msg02229.html (8,144 bytes)
