Hello,

I bought a 2000 248 Vista with a 5.0 Gi volvo about a month ago. I was reading in the owners manual that they say to run 89 oct fuel, I ahve run some 87 through it I think.... Not sure what they sell at our marina. What does everyone put in their 5.0. Can I run 87 oct through it?

Thanks for your help,

Mike

I run the low grade in everything, unless it pings! Octane retards predetination, that's all.
