unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at
least 87 or 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number.
However, you may use unleaded gasoline with
an octane rating as low as 85 AKI number in
these high altitude areas [over 4,000 ft (1,219
m)] such as: Colorado, Montana, New Mexico,
Utah,Wyoming,northeasternNevada,southern
Idaho, western South Dakota, western Ne-
braska, and that part of Texas which is directly
southofNewMexico.
However, now and then you may notice
light spark knock for a short time while
accelerating or driving up hills. This is no
cause for concern, because you get the
greatest fuel benefit when there is light
spark knock for a short time under heavy
engineload.
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than stated above can cause
heavy spark knock. (Spark
persistent,
knock is a metallic rapping noise.) If se-

tion. Failure to correct the condition is

cility.
