compression ratio & octane 91
#22
I think your question should have been why can sti's run on low octane then since that is more what you are after. I'm sorry to say it but I think you should have got an sti or evo or whatever and you really should have done your homework before you got your z. I am a broke college student who just recently lost my source of income but I would never think of retarding my car to save 5 bucks a fill. I bought this car because I love the long line of z cars and always wanted to be a part of the long legacy of z's. I knew that it was not the fastest or cheapest car to maintain at it's price point but that is not at all what I was going for. It is sad to see that you bought a car and then realized after that it had none of the qualities that you were going after. I really think you should sell your z to someone who loves it for what it is instead of making it something sad.

i just came up with a thought that if i lower the compression ratio then i won't have to put premium gas all the time. It was JUST a thought and a desire to learn about engineer..lol

So why did you buy a sports car if you A)Can't afford to put gas in it, and B)Are gonnna spend thousands to rebuild the engine for lower compression, to save a few cents per gallon?
