<VV> To Ping or Not to Ping ? - "Premium" vs. "regular" gas

[Jason Cesana]

Just remember all that "regular" in the 50's and 60's was the higher octane
of today. Or so that was what I have been told from many of our older car
gurus! That means that we SHOULD be running our cars on the highest octane
regularly available. For me that is 93. DRIVE ON!

By "91+" I meant current "Premium" so isn't that what we were all
recommending to Randy (Cap'n) Hook for his 110 that doesn't ping ??

"Premium" was at least 91, or higher, so why would that be "experimenting" ?

I believe Cap'n Hook's question was about running his 110 on today's regular
gas without having any problems, and he thought that was curious ?

I was suggesting that he use premium even if the car sounded OK with
regular, which is a good idea, right ?

The 110 was designed to run on premium fuel.  I'd saying using what Chevy
intended for fuel is a good idea, unless you are experimenting.
