The NG Turbo is made to run on on a broad specter of octane. Since it has knock-detection, it easily adapts to the fuel grade.

If you get knock there is something wrong with the engine, the ECU will adapt to the fuel grade before knocking occures. The perfomance will of course be better with higher grade fuel. -- Arne Adli '96 Saab 900 SE Turbo
