Okay gone back to a Ford for daily driver. Have an EL XR6 ( last of the EL's & no it hasn't rusted away) The manufacturer suggests at least 91 Octane. What are people running in theseplease and any advice. I am not interested in economy, just want the best for the engine. The XR6 is as I believe slightly higher compression than the standard Falcon. Must be a Ford man out there with good advice. Cheers

From the owners manual for AU 2 XR6, Only use unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 91 (RON) Higher octane petrol may be used without detriment. Can not imagine yours to be any different.

Thanks Guy's I put BP premium in today went for a return drive Wellywood to Masterton and it appeared to respond better with acceleration, and more torque on the Rimituka Hill. Think I'll stick to that

95 would probably be a better option. Might take a tank full or 2 for it to really make a difference.
