| I've used O2 sensors with Sunoco 110. NTK sensors last the longest from what I've heard. |

Glad to hear that they worked out for you, but was wondering why anyone would use such a high octane fuel in a shifter? Have you tried the loweer octane fuel?
Do you know what the octane numbers means? Did you know it doesn’t mean more HP.

I wasn't telling him to use that gasoline, just letting the previuos person know what type I used since he mentioned that different brands/types have different amounts of lead. I use Sunoco 110 on my Leopard because that's what they sell and spec at the track. Personally, I think it's overkill. Yes, I know what the octane rating (I'm assuming that's what you were talking about and not just octane) in gasoline means. Yes, I know that simply by using higher octane rating gasoline, the engine will not make any more power and most likely will be less efficient. |
