87 oct. gas ?!
Hey Guys just wondering with the price of gas what it is right now (about 2.00 a gallon for 93 OCT. where i am) is it safe to run 87 Oct. in my b16a 10.6 to 1 compression ? Yeah I know im being cheap but I have a 60 mile round trip to work each day and I dont make much money any thoughts ?
(other then if you cant afford the gas dont buy the engine ?)

if your cheap don't do it cus you will be spending money on a new motor if you do. A stock B16 with 10.2 to 1 on the gas cap says high octane only. use your head.

Re: 87 oct. gas ?! (Stryker908)
93 here in Florida is 1.89 It sucks. I will always use high octane gas in my motor. I used to drive around with my fuel pressure boosted up and my car tuned rich for nitrous because I was to lazy to change it when I wasn't racing. After I started spending like $40 a week in gas (40 mile round trip to work and I go to school 2 days a week which is like 30 mile round trip) it quickly changed my mind and I change my settings for weekly driving. As for safe to use 87 octane. It will probably run, but why take a chance? Keep your motor running good because B-series aren't cheap.

try Xylene paint thinner.
"Auto Tap showed 3.9 gallons of gas before we added the Xylene and 4.9 gallons after we added the Xylene. This gave us a 1:4 ratio of Xylene to gasoline providing us with an approximate pump octane rating of 97.7"
