For a brief time recently, I wanted to see how much of a difference using regular fuel made from using premium/high octane fuel.

After a few tanks of regular, I didn't notice much of anything. No knocks, no detonation, no noticeable loss of power.... No detrimental effects really.

I waited until my light came on and I filled back up with premium fuel (93 octane here in Philadelphia). The increased power was almost immediately noticed.

I believe the regular fuel retarded the timing so much as to prevent pinging and lost a bit of power.


So, my short experiment proved me right. Our cars require premium fuel for proper performance.

 

The burn off on 93 octane last a little longer than regular as well.

 

I ban myself from participation.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

 

 

 

Acura says thanks for conducting this experiment; but you didnt have too, as we've already told you what would happen, thus require Premium fuels in your car.

 

*recommend

 

And how much did your mpgs suffer?

 

Your attempt at humor is quite lame

Excuse the harshness and the trolling, but a thread like this appears every month in a different subsection of Acurazine. I'm not even lying!

 

I thought it was funny

 

 

Another fuel octane thread? I recently recall reading a huge thread a few months back on the same thing.

 

I think Justin is VERY fun

 

Well, it's been three weeks since the last one, so you know...

All dat anecdotal evidence, doe. Works errrtime.

 

jeezzz get over yourself OP



It's not science when you go and re-do an experiment that's been done time and time again.



THIS JUST IN, vinegar mixed with baking soda makes for a great volcano.

 

don't apologize for us you canuck!

 

But what about the red food coloring?!

 

Another one bites the dust?

 

that was MY little specialty I added... way to spill the beans asshole

 

 

 

I cant feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it

 

but i love it

 

Well this thread took an incredible turn for the awkward...

 

 

 

Close the thread before I start banging my forehead harder on the table.
