Bohr Contributing Editor Road Track A couple letters from the mailbag Dear Peter I recently purchased from my friend a Buick Wildcat with miles on it I know my friend rarely drove it more than She told me she always used reg gas because it was cheaper But 1 noticed the engine was pinging so I switched to a premium unleaded gas and the pinging stopped A test showed higher than normal readings and the mechanic told me to drive the freeways at or so which would help clean out the carbon build up in the engine and bring the readings down My question What gasoline should I use Premium leaded Regular leaded s new emission control regular unleaded J S Riverside Calif Dear Reader That s quite a car only miles in years In gen eral the fewer the miles the better the car But extraordinarily low mile age especially if those miles were put on at low speeds in city or go traffic can sometimes create problems Like their drivers cars need vigor exercise Prolonged high speed driving does help keep an engine in clean Mechanics often pre scribe an Italian tuneup for cars that have led a life in the slow lane and are running sluggishly The lan tuneup simply involves driving the car hard and fast for several hours Carbon build up in the combustion chambers can increase a car s com pression which in turn increases lis octane requirements With your 69 Wildcat an older car designed for leaded gas you re stuck between a rock and a hard place If you use regu lar leaded gas your engine knocks which isn healthy for it If you use premium unleaded you could damage the valves which obviously isnt healthy either As for the gas unless you use both an octane enhancer additive and a lead substitute additive you 11 get both knocking and valve damage The ideal solution would be a premium leaded gas but that stuff no longer exists My suggestion Fill up with pre mium unleaded gas and add a lead substitute These additives are kind of expensive but some of them like ProCare Valve Armor Lead Substi not only protect the valves but supposedly help clean out engine deposits Take several nice long Sunday drives After a few hundred miles of this treatment try leaded regular gas again With luck you wont hear any pinging and you can continue to use leaded regular which would certainly be the cheapest and easiest way to go Dear Peter I recently purchased a Ford Taurus SHO Living in Boul Colo I realized there would be some altitude effect on the car s per But it t until I drove to Missouri that I was able to ence the SHO s true potential The dif in acceleration and response was startling The dealer says there is no way to re tune this engine for high altitude Is that right J S Boul der Colo Dear Reader In a round about way your dealer was correct A me chanic can re tune the Taurus en because it automatically alti tunes itself The fuel injection system on the Taurus as on many fuel injection units from other auto makers uses a gizmo called a mass airflow sensor to measure the amount of air going into the engine The system then meters out the cor amount of fuel partially based on that measurement At feet about the elevation of Boulder the air is 14 percent less dense than at sea level Like people car engines become winded at high al titudes The Taurus mass airfjow sen sor will adjust the fuel mixture for the higher altitude rTRISHA ROMANCES l The Ice Castle Orders
