Yup, pretty much bullet proof.

Yep +1
And an fyi for anyone wondering, the way to know what octane a vehicle needs is by the compression ratio. As a rule of thumb, anything under an 11.5/1 ratio is just fine on 87 octane. That aint a set in stone number, but its a good ballpark:thumb:

Yes. Even then, its still just about the only thing about owning a german car that doesn't cost $600.

Everything on a german car costs $600.

I only use 93 octane now

have gas prices figured in any ones octane choice?

i have used higher octane on my new engine since i bought them. older engines get 87.

I was returning the rental car at the airport today (DIA) to come home and I stopped to fill it up before returning it. What the hell is up with that 85 octane crap in Colorado? If I'm not mistaken, don't most manufacturers have a 87 minimum rating?

Or reading the owner's manual...

You have

I do... It's awesome...

30 Car Mysteries Solved: Low Octane Fuel at High Altitudes

I use it as cologne.

Cross thread ftw!

Less oxygen lowers the octane requirement.

Yeah you're probably right, I looked up some pics when I got home and it seems the differences between it and the standard Taurus are far more subtle this time around.

Less oxygen also increases the chance that your defense will do bone-headed shit with less than three minutes left with a chance to get the ball back only one score down. This holds true even when the high-altitude defense is playing at low altitude.

Hopefully you didn't get e85 on accident. LMAO

The rental car company will be giving you a call shortly if you did.
