 If they're not going to run separate tankers "for 1 difference", why'd they bother printing different stickers for all their pumps?And those tankers you're talking about have separate compartments for different grade fuels. If you have some proof they're the same, I'd be curious to read it. |

You have to adjust timing to work with the fuel. If you do not do this (or you dont have knock sensors doing it for you), then using higher octane is useless, unless maybe you've got deposits that are causing pinging (premature detonation)
End story: If your ride specifies premium, you will most likely lose power if you don't use it......duh. However, if it specifies regular, then you're wasting your time using premium unless you 1) have modified the engine somehow, or 2) you're trying to reduce pinging (and in that case it would make more sense to clean your intake valves & combustion chambers instead) Last edited by Homeslice; 11-23-2009 at 12:58 AM.. |

Highest I've seen at a gas pump is 94 - I don't recall ever seeing 97...

I've seen 97 before... but was only in CA... and wasn't often enough that you could run it every tank unless you never left the local area.
102 I think is race gas... seen that more than 97... and all over... but again... too wide spread to rely on filling up with it every tank |
