<VV> dieseling

[Bill Elliott]

The 110 engine is extremely octane sensitive... your 95 octane may not be 
high enough. I think your 95 octane is roughly equivalent to our 91 and I've 
found 110's like 93 octane (on the US scale) and individual engines may 
still exhibit issues even then.

Is there higher octane fuel available for you to try?
