The first 3 months with my '95 I was using 94 octane and did not know any
different. The guys at work convinced me that I wasting my money, blah,
blah, blah. So I changed to 87. The truck was not impressed. It became
slightly slugish with mild hesitation and a bit of a cough. Seemed as if it
was octane withdrawl. I've since gone back to 94 and enjoy the increase in
performance. Before everyone writes back - Toronto has Sunoco Ultra 94.
Filled up today for .647 per litre (??? per gallon - my brain doesn't do
conversions at this time of day).
