>""""""premium"""""" fuel
>thinking that a fuel's resistance to detonation/ignition somehow makes it """"premium"""" or some other marketing meme
This fuckery is the worst meme in the entire auto industry besides """"ultra platinum"""" synthetic oils and le ebin ecoboost
Nice blog post
My car literally needs premium fuel to prevent it from shaking itself apart.
>octane count doesn't matter
lol
>ignites more slowly
>provides a more consistent release of energy throughout the process
Someone doesnt understand compression ratios
i though the worst meme was new cars
premiums pretty good when your running over 10.5 compression
Octane count does. Calling it "premium" is a bit misleading on the basis of octane rating though. There's nothing inherently premium about. That'd be like calling E85 "super mega ultra diamond edition" fuel because its octane is in the 100s.
Marketing gimmicks are the dumbest shit no matter what it's for, but people are dumbasses and still pay extra for brand names and memes. What can you do about it?
Premium fuels contain better additives and surfactants that keep your engine clean and other anti oxidants to stop it from decaying or separating
Also octane is expensive to synthesize so yea it's a premium to pay for premount
the first part of that post is a common misconception.
