87, the only kind the manual says to use and what searching for on this site tells me to as well.

Read Here. Try a search next time before starting a duplicate thread.

The point of my Q is that on a full tank of 87 I ran 287 miles(city) on a full tank of 93 I ran 347 miles (city)!!!!! So basicly I got my money back + I don't have to cleane my fuel sistem!!

 

[alas]

Did you drive any different? wow..

 

[NavyDoc05]

My driving is the same!! Same trip every day Home--->College--->Work--->Home!
My RPM's are always less than 3,500!!!!

 

[Dmitry82]

I don't know?? Maybe running higher octane fuel on a TC might not do anything for the performance??? But I know for sure that my 2000 Maxima SE rans like a piece of ***** on 87 oktane!!!! My best 1/4 time on the track was 14.7 on octane 93!!!

Explain how higher octane cleans your fuel system better than lower octane.

Interesting results. But, I think that web page is saying that all grades of Shell gasoline are cleaner than discount brands. See this page Get The Facts On Fuel from the same site that says use the octane level recommended by the car manufacturer.

I'm getting ready for the SC install - filled up with premium last week, right now I'm at 1/4 tank (SC is still not here), and it looks like I won't be anywere near my average 25-27mpg, more like 21mpg this time.

 

[Dmitry82]

As far as I know If fuel is cleaner---->octain is higher! (Fuel for flights)
From Diesel-->87--->91--->93--->to Racing Fuel
So from my understandig then cliner fuel then less trash in your fuel sistem and engine!! Maybe I'm not right!??!

 

[Zygote55]

We need to get Lance in here, STAT.

 

[Dmitry82]

Who is LANCE?

I think that article is referring to a brand of gas, not octane.



And since when was octane the deciding factor in how "clean" the fuel system is? Octane, I thought, was really all about the resistance of the fuel to preignition, or whatever. It's the detergents that clean the fuel system

 

[Zygote55]

As far as I know, RSX, you are correct. Dmitry is very misinformed and I'm sure Lance will educate him (and the rest of us...again) when he sees this thread.

The technical guy.





And here, read the Fuel FAQ, section 6. You can google the Fuel FAQ up

Ok! It wasn't a good link! But the high octain fuel is cleaner anyway!?!

 

[Zygote55]

I seem to recall lance saying the lower octane fuel burns cleaner, but sometimes I get lost in his technical posts.
