[s-cars] Lowest octane for road trip?

[Kevin Campbell]

When I first got my S I never checked to see what octane was
recommended.  Needless to say I put about a tank of 87 through it before
I realized those subtle pinging noises I was hearing under load was
detonation.  89 didn't help either.  Apparently the automatic timing
adjustment failed to retard the timing.

Driving to Rochester NY from NH on Wednesday.  This will be the first
time I've taken my car beyond 100 miles since I bought it.  I was
thinking that if I can resist the temptation of 23lb boost for 1 day,
maybe I could run 87 or 91 and save a couple bucks.

Good idea?  Bad?  Thoughts?



Mike
