COMPRESSION RATIO AND FUEL
.'
Hydra-Matic equipped
cars,
which have a standard compression ratio of 10.0 to I,
and
fuel injection
and
Tri-Power
equipped
cars having
a
10.5
to I
standard compres-
sion
ratio require the use
of premium
fuel. Synchro-Mesh equipped cars have
a
standard compression ratio of 8.6 to I and do not require premium fuel. Before
driving

car in any foreign
country
check
availability of
premium fuel. The use
of fuels with low octane ratings can result in
severe engine
knock and possible
damage
to engine parts.
