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?

Less oxygen lowers the octane requirement.

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.

![]() I usually am picked up at the airport and drive a company car to visit our clients. This time, however, the company cars were all out so I rented and drove straight to Fort Collins from Denver, then down to Colorado Springs. I'm an old man, so the Challenger (with the big Hemi) was tons of fun, although it would be worthless in the snow.... But yeah, I was surprised to see the same price for the 85 octane that we normally pay for 87 in KC. |

Yes.
tune + turbo = knock or downregulated boost without high octane

I don't use higher octane gas unless the car requires it (generally speaking, higher performance motors) but I do try and use non ethanol gas. Many gas stations offer non ethanol gas as an option and it's about $0.30 higher per gallon but IMHO it's better for the car and I get better gas mileage when I use it.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that modern cars will reerun the ignition timing to prevent pre-ignition. If so, you don't have to use premium, but the vehicle's performance will suffer.
