'thats what ALL of us have been saying. Why did you ignore everyone and require a car and driver article to believe this?'

Because it's a free country and he had the option.

 

im aware he can, I didn't say he wasn't allowed. I didn't exclaim he would be banned for not listening to us.
I just questioned why he made a thread with 2 pages of responses and ignored everyone's posts and went on to post a article as if it is the end-all on the matter. A article which, for the most part, said exactly what everyone here did.

 

The article also says this:


"If the car is sufficiently new and sophisticated, it may not suffer any ill effects, but all such skinflints should be ready to switch back to premium at the first sign of knock or other drivability woes."


Sufficiently sophisticated could be as simple as knock sensors, which retard the timing automatically instead of manually like in the old days....with the expected loss of efficiency....which sorta brings us back to post #1 of this thread
