So your saying that the computer will not make changes?
In 1984-86, a Mustang SVO had a little switch that would change timing if you couldn't find premium fuel and a noticeable difference in power. Back in the mid 80's, engine could be made to adapt to fuel grades, so I gotta believe that modern engine and computer system could make some changes.
The map will pull timing based on sensor input but it wont advance past base map. Tune for prumium and use regular gets you regular map performance. Tune for regular and use premium gets you regular map performance. Tune for premium and use premium gets you premium map performance.
The svo sounds like it had 2 maps stored. Modern engines also adjust for grade but they only asjust down from their base maps.
