I like it because it burns cooler and longer . Now the big reason is that todays 87 is a lot lower in octane then what was at the /pump back then . And IF people would look at the Minim fuel requirements you would know more. And if ya think 93 is tomuch for and old tractor it really isn't. Reg gas back in the day was 93 or BETTER and most reg gas was 95 and high test was over 100 , more like 105 and better . Then ya add in a over bore and step head pistons and your comp. ratio is higher throw in a higher compression head . Now as for how hard you work your tractor i do not know but the ones i take care of get worked hard. with running the hightest as they call it today helps to keep them running about 20-30 degrees cooler on the temp gauge. . The hightest of today would make a old 6cylinder cheve ping and knock. Up until gas went over 2.25 a gallon i ran it in the wifes Durango and it would do 18 -18.5 out on the road on the 87 we are lucky to see 16-17 For the Durango only a mile or so a gallon does not pencil out . On the tractors one melted piston and the time to fix the extra expense does.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
