Does only testing octane/heptane cause any quality control issues or knocking? It sounds like you’re more likely to get fuel that isn’t as good as you want it to be when in the EU
Fuel’s good here mate, my car’s still alive
Remember… The goal is to use the lowest octane without knocking for your compression ratio. Our octane is just fine.
7.2 compression ratio, hello dirty chip fat.
I use the highest grade available
This is only really beneficial if your car is tuned for that octane. Otherwise it’s just a waste. I’m not saying stop using it, just saying using the correct fuel for your car is the way to go.
Here in aus our fuel goes 91,95,98,100. I only use the 95 and 98. 100 is quite rare to come by.
Then your fuel doesn’t go to 100.
So if a 95 here is a 91 in the US, our lesser fuels are your top end? Or am I wrong?
No we get Ron number while they get mon number, mob is average of two numbers whereas we only get the Ron number, which will more often than not be higher. That’s of course if I’ve got the video right
It depends on how you look at it. We have fuels in 3 ratings; 95, 98 and 100. you can’t get anything lower than those in europe.
Edit: After some research, it’s all the same. American 87 is euro91, 91 is 95 and 92 is 98.
CT needs to post what higher octane is for. Most of these people have no clue. It’s almost hysterical reading these comments
Higher octane rate, less self ignition of the fuel. There’s not much more to say about that. Maybe some science explanation, but that’s it…
We have 88, 92, & 95
There’s RON 100, only at two gas station
Higher octane rating means that the gas can hold more pressure so it doesn’t detonates in compression stroke
I use high octane in my Saxo and it’s so much faster!!!11!!1!!!
But seriously most people won’t notice a difference 95 vs 98, that said where does 98 over here? BP and Esso are 97 with Tesco and Shell now being 99. I have a modified Subaru so 95 is a no go.
Anyway, don’t fill up your Mazda SkyActiv with less than 95 or it’ll run like crap due to the 14:1 compression ratio. Fill it up with 98 or 100 and you’ll be doing great.
