[QUOTE="donkz36, post: 65812, member: 579"] beg to differ there Albundy, 92 octane and 97 octane fuels are both unleaded. The myth that higher octane means more power is true only up to a certain extent. For normal cars, a 92 octane fuel would suffice and any additional octane rating or AKI would provide very marginal boost. Since our engines are designed for street use and not typically racing (M-series owners ignore this comment ) :ph34r: An AKI of 92 would not cause detonation to occur in our engines or else there would be heaps of broken down UDMs out there with overheated pistons and cracked rings. On the contrary, 92 octane is actually the most cost-efficient for our engines (in this country anyway). Of course for those of you who have xtra cash to spare, 97 octane is a sure way maintaining the purity of your beast. Moreover, pumping leaded petrol into our cars would cause very immediate effects. Just my 2 cents :D donkz [/QUOTE]
