Gasoline oktane
Hi Karl,
Welcome to our Club an I hope you have a lot of fun on your Island! Regarding to your question; when I got my SF back in 1986 we still had leaded gasoline. Meanwhile we also have 95, 98 or 100 Oktan – unleaded and my 318 engine runs with all of them. Your engine has a higher compression so 98 okt is absolutly ok. Nevertheless if you fill 95 okt every once in while it won’t hurt it. The 100 okt gasoline is even better but compared to the difference in price, in my opinion, it won’t compensate.
