You have a VERY high compression ratio, 10.7or8 if I remember correctly. The ECU will detune your timing substantially with lower octane fuels. This is done to avoid knocking. This engine will also be very sensitive to the effects of poor injector spray patterns, fouled plugs and combustion chamber deposits which can all increase the tendancy for knocking. These acquired octane demands can be decreased with Techron Concentrate or other good fuel system cleaners.
Avoid ethanol blended fuels. Texaco sells a 10% ethanol in some markets. Power will be reduced and fuel consumption will increase by about 10%.
