compelled , to say:

GAS ENGINE HEMIS IN THE 60'S-70'S COULD HAVE 12:1
COMPRESSION RATIOS. TODAYS GAS CAR/ TRUCKS WITH HEMISPHERICAL
COMBUSTION CHAMBERS ONLY RUN ABOUT 8:1 COMPRESSION RATION.. IT TAKES
RACING FUEL TO BURN IN A 12:1 ENGINE OR THE ENGINE WONT HARDLEY RUN..

My Audi runs at 11.25:1 on 92 pump gas.

Without any knocking ever? I too thought that would be hard. Is
there a trick?

Real men don't text.

I agree with that. Just look at the girl who does 30,000 a month (or
whateer the number was) and the one behind her who did 20,000.
Teen-age girls. Who wants to be one of those. (Other than Norminn
maybe, but we were talking aobut "real men".
