Wait, you're saying I can run diesel in this thing? Or at least mix them? I gotta look this up! Diesel is way cheeper the places I drive, so that would be great

The 13BT knock sensor will not detect high-rpm knock. Do not rely on it to save you from using the wrong fuel.

Man, these things run so insanely rich up up there that I personally don't think it is so much of a problem. (While still a concern, yes)

Besides, if you're so concerned about money that you're buying 87 in the first place, you're not racing now, are you?
