Abstract
The suitability of using unleaded gasoline in military and commercially designed equipment located at four Army installations has been evaluated over a two-year period. A total of 3007 vehicles were monitored during the evaluation for maintenance and performance problems. This paper presents information on vehicle octane number requirements and octane number increase trends measured on a selected group of vehicles during the evaluation period. Details of the fuels used, vehicles tested, test procedure and results are discussed.
