runs ok

Hey folks,
the car was sitting for 2 days after I recuperated from the road trip. She is running fine now , just like before.I drove around Miami yersterday and today. ( still on the same tank of regular.) When I drove from SC to FL I may have stopped only twice, all the other time she was running, I figure she was " tired"( for lack of a better term.). 8-10 hrs straight!. I looked at the Euro manual and the compression for the euro is 9.4 while the compression for the U.S model 380 is 8.3. The Euro model calls for Bosch W7D, spark plugs, whle the U.S calls for Bosch W9D spark plugs, the spark plugs in my car are W9's. ( My mechanic in NJ changed them and probarbly forgot that he was working on a Euro.) Probarbly the reason why she is running ok on Regular.

What do you folks think?
