"The corvair motors were originally made to use unleaded, 'Gulftane' fuel in the
1960's."
=============================================================================
??Judge... no flame!
??More Bad Rumor!!
Unleaded didn't start until 1972 ? in Calif.!!
?Corvairs were designed in the late '50's!
If Judge would read more of our posts here he would already know that the 80-95 hp Vair engines are approx 8.5 to 1 Compression ratios and run fine on 85 or higher octane.
102 's and above have approx. 9.25 to 1 ?CR.... ? they normally need at least 89 octane
??And he would know that todays Octane ratings are derived differently than the 60's... ?so numbers mean nothing
Now lets hear from all those that attest that Higher octane means more power!!! LOL!
