busoptr Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi guys and ladies, I always put 91 octane unleaded fuel in my 94 es, but I just wonder if it is ok to put 88. What does the owners manual say because I lost mine. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jet_a_jockey Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi guys and ladies,I always put 91 octane unleaded fuel in my 94 es, but I just wonder if it is ok to put 88. Yes, I run 87.What does the owners manual say because I lost mine. Sorry. I'll check mine next time im in the car, not totally sure. regular unleaded won't hurt it, though, its not a super high compression engine and doesn't have forced induction. If the octane of the fuel is lacking, the most it will do is !Removed! the timing some to compensate for pre-ignition. In doing that, you may experience a slight decrease in performance, but probably not a noticeable amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
