America and England/other parts of the world have different rating types. EG: Most countries in Europe, Australia and England use the RON rating, and America uses the AKI rating. They are both slightly different measurements of different characteristics of the fuels burning qualities. 87AKI=91RON, so for example, regular in Australia (91ron) is the same as 87 in the US.
Doesn't it say 'Premium Fuel Recommended'? You can still run regular then, you just loose maybe 1-2mpg and 5-10hp. Cars are so smart that they pull timing when fuel is lower octane from reading engine noise from the knock sensors. You can usually get midgrade for the same price as regular, that's what I use in my car that recommends premium.
Thats true to a certain extent , If timing is advanced you need to run 91 or higher octane but that motor being a vg30de is uses individual coil packs.
Here,s another one my DAD on another note / I had just bought 83/ Nissan / It had one Hell of set lights on it and driving lights / factor / i went to night auction with my Dad // his truck got block in / So took my truck across town / we comes back mad as Hell Tells my truck wiring FUCKED UP He couldn't dime the head lights
He said he got cussed out and flipped off all the throw town
He had never drove truck or car with dimer on the column Got LOVE are DADS // / REST IN PEACE DAD
I had similar thing happen to me years ago in my ford truck // i was out town and just bought the truck the month before // i left my truck with my DAD // He put in low octane gas // and was hauling my CAR TRAILER // He calls me the next day and says my truck won,t run worth dam / want pull no power / and rattles / I told to use high octane before left // but old school way thinking a waste money so put in as he said the cheap shit / Got to LOVE ARE DADS // MAY HE REST IN PEACE
my 1974 (that has 10-1 compression)daully runs on 87 the reason yalls cars runs like shit is because the compression in your engine ignite the gas before the spark plug the you have to do is adjust your timing quit complaning the dont use unless your car(s) are made to run on it
why didn't your dumb ass just buy an octane fuel additive to increase the octane number instead of waiting 3 full tanks later?? duuh duh dum duhhahilalalalj farts
@yajmobsiab So many times the oil companies ship lousy gas to their dealers (I live in New York City); if you think your gasoline retailer is getting a truckload of shitty gas in the middle of the night from some fly-by-night, guess again!
The major oil companies do it themselves to cut out the middle-man; they've been caught at it ad nauseum; they're about as big a bunch of thieves as there are on this planet.
@SatchmoSings just look on google or go to a pep-boys and ask around. i mean, you have the whole world of information at your fingertips with a computer!
@FantasticMRmike Another poster did recommend an excellent octane booster for those times when the oil companies "play (extra) rip-off" however it was quite expensive so I would suppose it would be the one that would work; that poster took down his posting; I don't know why; what he recommended was quite legit.
@FantasticMRmike I believe the product he mentioned was called "Torco;" it seems quite expensive but, I would assume it would be the one that would work though I' would ask around first.
I don't know why that poster took down his comment; maybe he didn't want to be unseemly "plugging" something.
@smashysmashy fuel additives only raise octane by a couple points. and a point is one TENTH of an octane step. so an $8 bottle of octane booster that promises a three point gain will only raise 87 octane to 87.3 for example
@Konigstiger222 Different countries use different methods of determining octane rating. In the US, we use the (R+M)/2 method. Your county likely uses just the MON and puts that on the label. See Wikipedia's article "Octane Rating" for more information.
What the hell, in Australia the lowest you can buy is 91 and that is regular premium is 95 and super premium is 98 octane. My car cant run on anything lower than 95 says so in the manual. Last time I checked 3d world countries were using 87
octane is directly related to compression ratio the gas itself isn't bad its just not meant to be used in this application always use the recommended fuel for your car if it says 87 don't use a higher octane because this can cause damage and it works the other way too hope your car wasn't f'ed up man
I have no idea what you people are talking about. Any modern car that requires premium will run 87 perfectly fine. The engine's computer recognizes the quality of the fuel and compensates by making the air/fuel ratio more rich, and that's why you get exhaust burbles, because there is extra fuel still combusting in the exhaust. I can run 87 perfectly fine if need be in my 1.8t GTI, even though my engine tune requires 93.
@hphall238 if you don't know then look it up. lol. octane ratings have nothing to do with air fuel ratios directly. I can't believe they sell 85 where I live. Its called detonation and misfire.
@macmaniacal no shit? so when the ECU detects detonation and misfiring, it doesn't add fuel? It just lets the motor tear itself apart? I've never seen a car like the one in this video act like that from using 87 octane, including the 1989 Camry my mother originally purchased in 1988 and has been putting 87 in since. No pinging, no detonation, and still runs like a peach after 23 years.
@hphall238 ha takes me a month to reply, but what the hell. No, fuel is not added if you were still wondering. its called retardation of the ignition. And you are running ancient vehicles. btw, switch to non ethanol gas i will guarantee you will get better gas mileage. what you were describing would be the case of pre-ignition. The lack of octane is detonation
@hphall238 '89 Camry doesn't have a high compression engine. Octane rating has nothing to do with the amount of energy released by the combustion of the air/fuel charge. It only describes the amount of energy required to initiate combustion. High compression engines require a higher octane fuel that takes more energy to ignite so that the charge won't detonate prematurely during the compression stroke.
@hphall238 air fuel ratio has nothing to do with octane the octane is the rating of the fuel tendency to detonate and if the cars says 97 then use 97 it has to do with the compression ratio not air fuel
i use 89 octane i remember i needed gas badly n HAD to use 87 thats all they had...half a talk of that shit n my car wouldnt wana start up on some days...btw i have a 98 i30t same engine as a maxi 89 octane isnt that bad i do wish i had money for 93 tho
@blazersaurus A Maxima doesn't really require premium; the owner's manual says 91 octane which is precisely between premium and the "plus."
However it has been my own personal experience (here in New York City) that often enough the major oil companies have, on occasion, routinely shipped fuel to their dealers that is below posted octane; they've been caught several times doing this; oil companies are huge thieves.
