So after selling my 98 GT-S sometime in July...I decided to seek out my dream car! Here's a little story of my adventure to see a GT-Four, up front and in person, for the very first time...

Dragged two buddies along for the journey. We planned for the 12:30pm sailing at the horseshoe bay terminal in BC, to get to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Turns out the sailing was full and we waited 3 hours for the next sailing. After 1.5 hrs on the ferry we hauled a** 150km north of Nanaimo to Campbell River (keep in mind the last sailing home is 9pm). Finally arriving at the place we took a look at the car, took it for a spin and worked out the payment details.
The pro: engine is still running strong even with meerly 103,000kms
The cons: various surface rust here and there
The solution: leave the car there, get all the surface rust sanded out and get a full paintjob (at my cost)... then ship it to me

Now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive!....time for some teaser pics!

"regular" gasoline in US and Canada
RON 91–92
MON 82–83
AKI 87

This is the one that will be harmful for it (what we call 91 here.)

"EuroSuper" or "EuroPremium"
RON 95
MON 85–86
AKI 90–91

GT4 wont have a problem with this at all.

"premium" gasoline in US and Canada
RON 97-98
MON 88–89
AKI 93

GT4 loves this (BP Ultimate ) alot quicker boost response.

thanks for the clarification

how about those gas stations that say their fuel has up to 10% ethanol... I remember reading in the owner's manual for my old 98 GT that it was ok...do you know if this would be harmful to a GT-Four even if it's "premium" gasoline?
