The thing that puzzles me here is when the gas truck comes to fill up the tanks at the station I only see one hose going into one hole, so how does it get to be premium do they ad a quart of high octane to 2000 gallons of gas or is there another method to this madness?
The higher the octane the slower it burns and the higher the flash point. The higher the compression of an engine the more rapidly fuel combust. that is why a higher performing engine such as an engine with a shorter stroke and higher compression like you would find in a BMW roadster require higher octane to slow the combustion to maintain maximum efficiency. if you put 87 octane in an engine made for 93 you can actually damage the engine over time from to violent of a burn in the cylinders
my 98 corolla lovessss regular gas and its fast u all need a cold air intake 2 make ur car go fast stock keeps it from sucking a lot of air and Premium is bs wast of money it is regular gas dey want ur money
This is bull shit, I own a 2011 tacoma and when I use 91 over 87, my gas milage is 1-2 miles to the gallon better, and my truck tows trailers way better. The media and the government is full of bullshit. Premium is totaly worth the extra 15 cents a gallon.
@yumyumluckycharms Duh! the higher the octane the slower the burn. you will loose power though if your engine is tuned to run on 87 octane and you run 93. higher compression engines such as short stroke High output engine like you find in BMW's for example need the higher octane and the slower burn because the higher compression makes the fuel combust more rapidly. you put 87 in a car that is tuned for 93 you can actually damage the engine over time from fuel detonation.
that's why british have higher octane due to a lot of turbo cars offered there, where in america factories mostly offer natural aspirated engines which only benifit from 91octane or less.lucky british wankers.lol
91 octanes best for regular cars, but go any higher than that and will rob power, you need a turbo charged car to get beifits from very high octanes 92 and up due to very high cyclinder compression to burn it properly.the high the octanes the more a turbo engine benifits, but non turbo normal engines can't burn it fast enough and robs power, i'm talking 92 and up octane.
doesn't matter how much i saved(maybe a couple of dollars ) regular burned off faster than preimum, use premium people it DOES make a difference, your car will be problem free longer
i have an 1986 toyota mr2, always put preimum in it, it still runs fantastic, never had engine rebuild, once i decided to use regular, the car started idling ruff, started shaking, struggled to get up in revs, exhaust stunk bad, burned fuel twice as fast(very poor milage), and i noticed alot of water coming from tailpipe.used up regular put preimum back in, and engine ran perfect again, never ever will i use regular again
this is a bunch of bull, regular gas has way higher amounts of water than preimum, which in turn ruins your engine faster, its like drinking watered down alcohol.plus regular is the lowest quality fuel, it goes through the least amount of refining, which could leave harmful deposits in gas not filtered out, which clog fuel filters and lines.basically, like always you get what you pay for.
@Sneakers00 depends on where oil comes from. The gulf is down south and i know for a fact that there is a HUGE refinery in Texas and they pay much discounted price for gas in texas as they do almost everywhere else. Like only 2 $ a gallon
@gevoakasuperman same here man..have a 98 i30t..HAD to use 87 once and a full tank of it..car ran like shit..use 89 and it responds better...wonder wut 91 will do to her??
this is retarded like its some sort of conspiracy, how about friggin explaining what octane is and how it can vary with burning at different temperature, also how 93 octane degrades rapidly
Higher octanes just prevent knocking, that's the reason for it. It must be used only in highly compressed engines. Apart from that it is useless powerwise.
If you have doubts use jet fuel (at your own risk), as you can't get any more octanes than that.
That said, there is the diferent addictives these fuels use. They do help keep the engine cleaner (injectors, valves, etc).
@zech007 I agree it also leaves less deposit in your engine cleans old carbon off your valves and in most cases contain less or no ethanol , ethanol is bad for you engine
regular is 95 ron in the uk, premium is 97 - 99. I think my car would run noticably worse on 87 fuel. cars with variable valve timing get the most out of uk premium unleaded, a little bit of extra power, bit better fuel economy.
I Have a 1998 Nissan Sentra SE in which i've used an 87 rating until my trusted mechanic told me that it wouldn't hurt to go up to 89. After a week, i've noticed a much quieter engine when starting and a better "uumph" on the highway.
it all depends on your ECU And injection systems. BMW's and newer VAGs go mental for high octane! I have a 1.4 civic and i can totally tell the difference! It takes about two tanks to adjust its ECU for Vpower etc+The mileage works out the price with me I've tested it and i get the same amount of miles on the price. : D
u only need high octane gas on engines that have a 9:0:1 compression ratio or higher (like a 91 and up 240sx with the ka24de engine) and my 97 integra
let me guess... ur probably still in highschool and u think street racing is the coolest thing in the world!!!!... U probably even use Fast and Furious lines on a daily basis too...lol... fuckin loser!!!!
ok im still in High School and i do like Fast and Furious, but i assure i dont quote it on a daily basis and ive never street raced, all i do is drift but i save it for the track, and looks who's talking u started a argument over the internet and i guarntee i will whoop ass and whatever POS u drive all day
yeah dumb ass i drift read the 1st comment douche i have a 93 240sx that has a DOHC KA with a 95 infiniti j30 VLSD slammed on silk road suspension that cost 1500$ and i'm 18 u stupid queer and i'll race u any day with integra and beat ur ass all day
i think premium gas helps older cars run "smoother" and not necessarily get better gas mileage. for modern cars, though, i don't think it makes much of a difference. WHO CARES! it shouldn't be an issue. in cars with 15-20 gallon tanks, the difference between premium and regular is about $3.50 when you fill up your tank. if this is determining which type of gas you use, then you should DEFINITELY be riding the BUS instead!!! lemme guess, you'd rather buy a happy meal with that money, right?...
Believe it or not, the orginal BMW M6 of the 80's used premium, but was such a fine tuned engine, really required a higher octane fuel, used for aircraft.

This vid is so true. I have a 1988 Volvo 240 wagon with 3000,ooo+ miles on it. Acouring to the manual should use 93+ octane gas. I allwayes use REG 87 octane Shell gas and get 34-MPG. So i tryed 97 Octane Shell gas for 5 tank fills and got 24-MPG. Went back to REG and my MPG went back up to 34. Premium gas is a waste of money.
I wish they would use the old glass top gas pumps so I could see 5 gal and not rely on the digital readout.

if you want better performance from your car. use super premium gas. along with 2 prong spark plugs. 4 prog are a waste
