You type for the sake of TYPING, not for actually HELPING, and to stir up more shitstorms for absolutely no reason when someone is just trying to get a straight answer on something.
But, as I replied to the folks behind your post here, I thanked THEM for their right-to-the-point answers regarding the fuel.....YOU did not have the ability to do that, you NEEDED to point out to me the deficiencies of "making you" retype information all over again, which I NEVER asked you to do.....I asked what the best fuel to use in these cars was.
Bottom line, it doesnt matter what you think I was asking of you
.....other members got right to the point and recommended 87 unless it called for 93 or so.

THANK YOU ILLUSION.......THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR FROM EVERYONE IN HERE, and it seemed a bit too incomprehensible for them; I will consider your insight and suggestion......thank you so much again for getting to the point.
Peace Playa.
NP, it's in the manual, I swore I still had one around but couldn't find it after 15 minutes so I gave up.

Hey man, I tried to help you back in the day (you'd have to search under one of your old user names...not sure why you keep changing it) and eventually trying to reason with you just gets frustrating. Hence why this thread is on page two, and there is an answer for you found early on page one.

And you can figure out what gas I use by using the search function, conventiently located at the upper right hand corner of the forum index.

Okay, LOTS of misinformation in this thread!
Here's the deal - ALL gas burns equally cleanly - just at different compression ratios. Octane ratings are used to determine at what compression the gas burns completely.
(I might have this next part backwards, I'm sure someone will correct me)
Higher octane fuels will burn completely at higher compression ratios, while lower octane fuels will burn completely at lower compression ratios. Again, I might have that backwards, but that's generally how it works.
If your gas doesn't burn completely, it'll collect in your catalytic converter. If it burns too quickly, it'll make your engine knock.
Basically check your owner's manual to see what the compression ratio of your engine's cylinders are (and which gas they recommend), and don't listen to BS from fairweather mechanics - or (ironically) BS on Internet message boards.
