The feedback from the three O2 sensors ensures the fuel air ratio is correct. The reason that 85 octane rated fuel is available is the air density effectively lowers the compression ratio sufficiently to allow the engine to run successfully at altitudes 4,000 ft ASL.
Does that mean whenever 85 is available we can use?
