The Science Behind Octane Ratings High Octane Fuel, Higher Compression Ratios If you've read How Car Engines Work, you know that almost all cars use four-stroke gasoline engines. One of the strokes is the compression stroke, where the engine compresses a cylinder-full of air and gas into...
Fuel Type: 93# Octane or Above Unleaded Gasoline; Spark Plug Type: Dcpr7e (or Ngk); Max Speed: 85 Km/H; Starting Type: Electric Start; Gear Shift /Order: Manually/ L—h—n—r—p; Transmission: (CVT)+G...
My theory is averaging octane numbers. And also the theory that premium gas from certain suppliers has better cleaning chemicals. Sunoco 93 is my favorite, ignore the price and just use it once in a while. I have no scientific data on this. #20 MCCOHENS, Feb 5, 2024 Mendel Leisk ...
We’ll let you in on a secret: Midgrade fuel doesn’t really exist. In most cases, refineries do not produce a midgrade gasoline blend; instead, the middle-octane option is blended at the fuel pump from a given gas station’s supply of regular and premium gas. Why does midgrade gas ...
Oil and gas are both fossil fuels used as primary energy sources, but oil is generally used in liquid form for fuels and manufacturing, while gas, typically found as natural gas, is used for heating, electricity, and industrial processes. ...
(5)Low octane gas. Regular grade gasoline is supposed to have an octane rating of 87. If the gas station or their refiner is cutting corners and the fuel is not 87, it may cause spark knock. The fix for this is to try a tank of mid-range or premium gasoline. Be warned, though,...
In Spain, the residential sector alone is responsible for 14% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions [6]. Although residential consumption also includes the commercial sector and public administrations, this figure explains why reducing electricity consumption in the residential sector has been part of the...
The one thing I think would suck about owning one these days is that they really need 93 octane to run properly. You can use regular and it’ll run “OK” (there’s a switch on the dash that will retard spark timing to safely run 87) but it results in a noticeable power loss, ...
Trading octane and engine sounds for wattage and emission-free motoring, the battery-powered Cayenne EV is expected to bear more than a passing resemblance to the gas-powered variant. The Cayenne EV is also expected to ride on the same platform as the upcoming Macan EV—which will beat the ...
If someone owned a sports car they would not put 87 octane gas in it, it they did it would not perform anywhere close to its highest performance. Instead, they would put in 93 or better octane and then their vehicle would perform excellently. Our bodies deserve 93 or better octane (I ...
