from the manual:
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline with
a posted octane rating of 87 or
higher. If the octane rating is less
than 87, an audible knocking noise,
commonly referred to as spark
knock, might be heard when driving.
If this occurs, use a gasoline rated
at 87 octane or higher as soon as
possible. If heavy knocking is heard
when using gasoline rated at
87 octane or higher, the engine
needs service.
So I am wondering if I use a higher octane like 93 will the motor produce more power? This motor has a high compression ratio so it would make sense... I'm talking about the 2.4L with a compression ratio of 11.4:1
