Its been at least 6 years since I drove an E21, and gas prices are MUCH different.

WHat do you guys put in your M20s? Do you put in the 92 octane or do our cars do well with 89 or 87?

The Euro M20's are rated for RON 98 min n leaded too, which I believe is quite diff to get in the US.

A friend of mine being on the cheap, ran his M20 on RON 92 with very ill effects.....

If the car is not your daily driver and you will be using it for pleasure only, treat it to the best gas you can and get the most out of it.
