Why is lower octane bad for turbos? S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Bart Bobbitt on  Sun Apr 15 23:01 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I think it would be nice for us to know why the use of low octane fuel will become apparent after 80K miles. Sounds like your mechanic thinks (knows?) there will be some change to the engine. What's his reasoning, anyway? It's not apparent to us what this change might be. If the use of high-octane gas is important, I think we'd like to know why. Please ask your mechanic to tell you, then please post his reasons. We'll all be a lot smarter about our cars. Thanks.
