[s-cars] 87 Octane- CA?

[Tom Mullane]

I think that if I was forced to run my car on anything less than 91 I would
probably unplug the WGFV to limit boost to 7 psi.
 Before using any octane booster, read the bottle carefully; most octane
boosters only raise the octane level a few tenths of a point. Useless.
Toluene is your friend.

Honestly if you stay off the boost...or even if you are on the boost..the
knock sensors and programming, assuming they are working, will be able to
compensate for the $hitty gas. You are not going to blow up your car running
on 87. Will it knock under hard acceleration..yes. Will you bend a rod...no.
Will your car be rocket fast..no. IF you are in TX..best of luck w/
Hurricane coming in.

I think he meant that they are out of premium in Austin, due to all the
evacuations from Houston. I would not put 87 (unless octane boosted somehow)
in, low altitude and humid heat, not a good idea.
