94.5 octane???  Wow how do you get that stuff?  Most we can get here is 91,
but California is so screwed up I'm surprised they still let us use gas.

My guess is the guy is misinformed. 

Most brand(if not all) gasoline come in two flavors- the 87 octane garbage
and whatever premium is available in your area(here it's 94.5). They're
mixed at the pump to provide the plus-level fuel.

I had some interesting information come to light when I bought our 

Gravely mower a couple of weeks ago (which I'm not sure about it's 

truthfulness) but it certainly could pertain to our beloved Mopars. 



The guy told me that I needed to run at least 89 octane because the 87 

would cause "scaling" in the carb over time (as little as 1 season) 

and cause problems. When I asked him if he meant some kind of deposit 

or mineral type residue he said yes. Supposedly the 89 octane won't do 

this. Has anyone heard of something like this? I had always heard that 

you run 87 octane unless your engine was setup to take advantage of 

the the extra octane (ie extra timing, etc.) and have never heard of 

scaling w/ lower octane fuels. Thoughts???? 



Thanks
