> I drive a 95 Dodge Neon.  The field elevation ranges from approx. 3500
feet here at the house to 4000 feet at the top of the pass.  I tried to burn
the 85 octane garbage and even the antiknock feature couldn't keep the
engine from knocking while climbing the pass.  So from personal experience
even electronics cannot keep low octane fuel from ruining an engine.
