Octane is the weirdest subject to search the net for. While our manuals state 87 octane... I have a question - maybe I just don't understand engines enough...
My probe gt had a compression ration of 9.2:1 I believe - and was required to use premium fuel.
The mustang is 9.36:1
how come if the compression ratio is higher - does the v6 mustang use 87? I imagine its due to the differnces between 2.5L and 3.8L.. but I have been unable to find anything difinitive.
Just curious if anyone understands octane enough to answer this for me.
