Subject:Bad Fuel? (long)

Chris & Aimee,
I use 92 octane fuel because (in theory) the oil companies put more
detergent in the higher octane stuff, and it is supposed to benefit
Bosch fuel injection systems.  I know the Alfa becomes very sputtery
and unhappy with lower octane/detergent fuel (it too has Bosch
electronic fuel injection), but I haven't experimented with the Syncro
as yet.
