you are actually using 89 for an SVTF??? isn't that kind of dangerous? or is the only reason you using 89 instead of 91 is because it's SOOO cold outside? are you getting any problems and any loss in power?

I know that works on older speed density systems, because it has to relearn the program, so if you baby it for the first while that style makes a difference, but on newer mass air systems the change is not very dramatic at all. You may pick up another 20km to a tank but thats about it. So YES that is BULL

I might change to 91 if I were running fully loaded, with wide open throttle. There's some variation from one engine to another, and the 91 rating listed in the Owner's Manual is conservative. The SVT does not have noticeably high compression ratio.
Also, octane requirement decreases in cold weather.
