[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 190934, member: 665"] Yes it is (that's why they call it N-EPRT) -- but, nonetheless it's sort'a important (why else would they go to the trouble to state it (octane rating) on all gas pumps? And....many don't know if their engine is pinging or not. That's minimum.... Some manufacturers have gone to switches that (you) select the octane you're using and the switch selects an appropriate ignition advance setting. Mo betta, may be?, a very high compression ratio (usually a good thing) along with a 'knock sensor' that will back-off the timing for cheapskates. That way, we could all get by w/smaller engines -- might be hard on sales, tho....? :unsure: ;) [/QUOTE]
