[FC] 95 HP Heads Might Still Need Premium Gas

[Marcello Capalbo]

Dear Mr. Mauro,
I'm the poseur who bought the over-restored Greenbrier (95 hp)off of e-bay
on New Year's Eve from Mercedez Benz of Redondo Beach.
The dealer filled it with regular gas, and as soon as I got on the LA
freeway system, it wouldn't go over 40mph.
Refilled it in Simi Valley with regular gas, and it went so slow that the
CHP pulled me over on the entrance ramp to advise me that I needed to drive
faster than 40 mph to use the freeway.
In Santa Maria, there was only generic gas so I filled it with premium.
As soon as I pulled on the entrance ramp, "64 BRIER" started humming up to
65mph, where she has been cruising ever since.
Baby won't drink regular.  I wouldn't necessarily assume that if you convert
to 95hp, you'll run on regular.
SF Marcello
