Re: Octane S70 2000

In my experience with my S70, octane ratings mean nothing as far as performance is concerned. The difference comes when its time to renew your emissions sticker. Though it wont become a problem for many years. After 6 or 7 I'm told, the low octane gas will leave sufficient deposits on your valves, etc. to cause you to fail emissions. This info comes directly from more than five emissions technicians. Stick with low test if you like, every 8 or 9 tanks however, load up with premium to clean out your valves, cylinders, and all that good stuff.
