Octane vs. performance / HP - Volvo says...
1 Attachment(s)
Ok - so having never owned a Volvo engine, I decided to read the manual for my new motor and it had a page dedicated to the following - any thoughts on the validity of the "increase in power" statement from you engine guys - and what are they!?

It is a reasonable statement.

we own at 5.0 efi volvo penta and ive never really noticed a difference. but i could be wrong.

Basically the computer can turn the timing up w/ a higher octane w/o causing detonation. Not that familiar w/ the volvo style efi & what sensors it's using to determine its parameters

I doubt you would feel a difference in performance, not enough to offset the cost of higher octane fuel. But if you want a margin of safety in case you get some bad fuel. Its your piece of mind.
