				fuel question?
			 
 
			I sold my 00 boxy base to a friend a couple of days ago. I told him to use only premium unleaded in the car. he asked me if he could use regular unleaded, my response was only in a time of emergency.
 so to the question, with the 11.5 c/r of the engine, if one were to use regular unleaded, what would happen? there is a knock sensor on the engine. would the ecu recurve the ignition to compensate or would the engine self destruct due to detonation? I have made some inquiries amongst friends locally, but no one could give a definitive answer (most didn't even know what a knock sensor was).
 
 so does anyone know?
