SCT XCal2 Octane
Would the tune cause a problem if the octane wasn't exact to what the station provides?
My X2 has a 91 and 93 setting, but my gas station (BP) only has 92. Someone told me that if I use a 93 tune, I would run too lean. So I set it at 91. Would this also cause a problem? Can I get a new tune that does 92, or should I find a station someplace that has 91 or 93 gas?

RE: SCT XCal2 Octane
You should always use higher octane fuel than the tune calls for if the same octane isn't available. The computer will adjust to the lower octance, but you're tempting fate by making it do so.
