It's that thread again!...
My area's premium is mostly 91. I found a couple gas stations selling 93.
Any real reason to go out of my way to fill up with 93 over filling up with 91?
Car calls for "Premium Gasoline" but it doesn't specify octane rating.
Is there *any* benefit to 93 over 91?
But user the manual will tell you the octane required for your car. the only reason to pick 93 over 91 is the car is tuned to run on 93 and not 91.

>93
>this is what amerifats consider premium
top kek
Euro premium is 97
>I'm a retard, the post
>what is RON vs. AKI
Euro's use a different octane rating system, dumbfag.
Does it knock under heavy loads? If not, then there's no reason to go to a higher octane rating.
...
>being this retarded
fuck yourself you piece of shit moron
read that in his voice, thanks
>93
Its 97 everywhere here, why do americans have such shit gas?
european here, the cheapest gas is 97 octane lmao, you americans are being ripped off if 93 is your premium lmao
97 octane burns so much better, more energy in the fuel i find 93 doesnt even ignite properly
>look Mom, I posted it again!
>93
97, that's cute. Nothing is stopping me from going to the VP supplier down the street and running this delicious leaded sex juice.
>post ends in 39
woah
Are you at a "high" elevation?
If so, 91 performs like 93 does at sea level.
spooky
Another dumbass joins the thread, gets double dubs...

>ITT a bunch of retards who think a higher number is better
HEY FUCKASSES
US93 AND EU97 ARE LITERALLY THE SAME GAS
every
thread
Ontarian here. My Mazdaspeed6 owners manual says the following:
>This vehicle is designed to use 93 [ (R+M)/2 method] (98RON) or higher gasoline for best
performance. If 93 [ (R+M)/2 method] (98RON) is not available, 91 or 92 [ (R+M)/2
method] (96 or 97RON) gasoline can be used. In case 91 or 92 [ (R+M)/2 method] (96 or
97RON) is not available, gasoline as low as 87 [ (R+M)/2method] (91RON) can be used
temporarily for emergency purposes. Use of gasoline lower than 93 [ (R+M)/2 method]
(98RON) can decrease performance during its use.
It idles like an earthquake on 91 but runs silky smooth on 94 which is available here at certain Petro-Canada stations. I also think there's Esso stations farther up north that have actual 93 but I've never seen one in person.
Who sells E85?
Your shitbox doesnt need more than 87
>putting premium in a Mazda 6
I came back to my thread and found it in this state; you should be ashamed.
>he thinks the octane of his gas affects his idle
What did you expect?
Thanks for the (You)s guys
My car's manual says to literally tow it to a dealership if you accidentally put anything but 93 in it.
I'd post a picture of that page of the manual but FUNNY ENOUGH it's half disassembled at a dealership right now.

15 minutes before that warranty is out, I'm selling that thing and buying a 40 year old BMW.
Octanenis not poWer.
Octane is a measure of the amount of anti knock additives added to fuel To raise the self combustion pressure.
High compression ratio requires higher octane so it does not combust before the spark plug fires.
look up the comp ratio of your engine and figure it out for yourself.
Higher octane burns slower. it does not burn cleaner or remove dirt or any of the magical shit they claim.
Most people will see worse fuel economy for using higher octane.

>i pretend to be retarded on Veeky Forums for guaranteed responses
>What is the Mazdaspeed 6
The Mazdaspeed 6 is entirely different from the Mazda 6. It was only made for two years, and had the 2.3L MZR and AWD.
Every single one of Japanese turbo sportcars needs 98ron. 95 will detonate with the turbine spinning if the ECU doesn't retard the timing. But some of the western versions have remapped ECU, like Australian S15 works on 95 (and it has less hp).
RON vs AKI
yes ur engine can run 2 octaves higher on 93 octane
Not getting your gas at the marina.
Enjoy your ethanol and shitty fuel economy.
what kinds is your car
