Rod Speed
Absolutely true. In many cases, manufacturers have noted that their octane recommendations are just that - recommendations. They have said that the only real side effect is loss in performance (that MOST people would never notice.)
So lets says your 2005 Speed Rod has an engine rated for 400HP. The manuafcturer recommends 91 octane if you want that kind of horsepower. If you put 87 in it, the mixture needs to rich up a bit and the timing needs to be advanced so that it would knock like Woody Woodwoody wood pecker. Your mileage goes down - not by much, because as I said, the change in mileage is negligable - and you might only be able to get 350HP out of it.
High Gas Prices Fuel an Octane Rebellion 2000Rod Speed Absolutely relevant - See premise #2 in the buttignment I give you below. Again, see your buttigment below. Really? Hope you are ready to explain your position below. Here's your...
So lets see .... same engine using slightly more gasoline to produce less power. Could it be.... That the engine can actually use more of the energy in every gallon of high octane fuel?
Pity you're more retarded than your ignition timing.
Yes, it does. Because you can run that fuel hotter, and under higher compression.
No, you won't GET more energy out of the fuel. Low octane fuel may have more energy available, but you wouldn't able to run the engine in a way to use it all. In other words - you waste it because you can't use it.
Whatever. You MAY THINK it's irrelevent, but it is accurate.
(Let me act like you) But it DOES have an effect.
What the hell are you talking about? What I said about compression is accurate.
How f***ing old are you? My 19 month old daughter can argue better than you.
Snipping the rest - you just go downhill from here.
