Question for Bob. Through my aircraft engines training and experience =
and many years in the automotive industry I have learned that "octane" =
is only one of many properties of gasoline which have affects on engine =
performance. Octane is a measure of fuel's resistance to pre ignition =
and has been grossly over sold to the unknowing public as "the" measure =
of the quality of fuel. There are many other properties of gasoline =
which can profoundly affect the performance of gasoline but these are =
seldom mentioned.=20
As I understand it as long as the octane rating is high enough for the =
effective compression ratio of the engine in which it is being used =
higher octane rated fuel is of no benefit. Is that a correct statement?

I live in MD where both 93 octane gasohol and alcohol-free fuels are =
available. Aside from some gasoline-powered garden tools for which I =
bought the long-lasting stuff they sell by the gallon I have always used =
pump gas. =20
My 2007 Tundra was great in that it would run on 87 whereas my Audi A4 =
requires 92--which works out to 93. =20
As for the Healey I always use 93 gasohol though I think I am wasting =
money and could probably get by with 91.
As for my Ginetta G4 (Ford Kent precrossflow) and Elva MK IV (Coventry =
Climax FWB) race cars I buy unleaded high octane (110) at the track and =
pay whatever I must in order to play..
