[QUOTE="K9 EXPERT, post: 1980374, member: 54827"] First, you watch too many cop shows on TV. Secondly, I wasn’t one of the people in school that could sit thru a lecture and get a B. I had to study my butt off to get a B-. Also most cops, me included, did not go into LE to, as they say during interviews, help people. Most did so out of necessity, in my case I had to eat. Regardless, the way I recall the conversation, there is something inside the vehicle that detects the octane and adjusts accordingly. It is an ICM, BCM, something along those lines. I believe it will make it so the engine knock is undetectable to the human ear if lower octane gas is used, however the engine does knock. Also lower octane burns hotter than higher octane and over time a valve seal, valve cover…..something valve related will sustain heat damage. The damage may not show up for awhile, but if enough miles are on the truck, it will cause significant damage. He said if it occurs during warranty, the warranty repair will likely be denied. Be that as it may, I remember specifically that the guy from Ford Performance said all turbo’s require higher octane gas, which got my attention because I have been putting 87 in the Lariat. [/QUOTE]
