all i run is 95-nocorn in the truck in order to keep the check engine light from coming onHow about we get rid of the stupid regional boutique blends instead.
L
most affordable ways for Who ?
95?
Finally some compression and long cam durations.......
How about no ethanol?
In reading the comments, The way Europe computes Octane is different from the US. 95 in the article is equivalent to 91 in the US.
They make the case that it could be done for less money but, I doubt that. I would like a simpler car instead of variable timing computerized cash hogs.
Let the world “align” with the USA.
The gas price has jumped around here in the last few weeks.
Euro 95 octane is using the ROM method of calculation.
The US currently uses the average of ROM and MON (hence the (R+M)/2 Method sticker on the pumps).
Euro 95 octane is equivalent the current US 91 octane - which is marketed as premium most places.
The reason they want this is to drive the cost of gasoline to the price it is in Europe, thus reducing or removing the ability of Americans to move from place to place. You better believe this is all about control of the population.
Check the bank accounts of House Energy and Commerce Committee members on how much campaign contributions they are getting from GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler.
Are we going to have to pay $6 a gallon for it like they do over there?
I once flew from Tulsa to Atlanta.
The guy seated next to me was a petroleum engineer. He really knew his stuff and it was interesting.
I can’t recall much but one thing was the scale is really on a thousand point scale. In other words 98 octane is 98 out of 1000. It only takes a tiny increase to make a big difference.
Also back in WWII we produced 115 octane aviation fuel and it made a difference in performance.
Ethanol is expensive, lowers fuel economy, and is a net loser for the country, raises repair costs for small engines.
Want to raise fuel economy, get rid of ethanol.
My car will generate more power from higher octane, not so sure about an increase in fuel economy, but if it can be done in addition to getting rid of ethanol at only +5 cents, I’m in!
I’ve tried the higher octane and not found it to produce much better gas mileage than the regular.
The all gas/ no ethanol stuff does.
But either way, this is just going to end up putting more money in their pockets as premium is expensive.
the EUSSR is in great shape now isn’t it, it’s lovely and so free there.
now, why does Government Motors want us to copy the EUSSR? let me see off the top of my head.
0. puts us as a nation in line with globalist control.
1. saves them money on development and engineering
2. catches them up with their more successful competitors.
3. makes it easier to sell their poorer quality, gov’t subsidized cars.
4. boosts taxes so their gov’t subsidies go up.
5. signals their green virtue, even though there is no “global warming.”
6. asserts their control over the American oil industry.
7. gives them a hole to exploit for electric cars in the internal combustion market.
well, that’s enough for now. for a comment this is getting long.
Something sounds fishy about this. Is Europe 95 octane the same as American 95 octane? Engines now are designed to run on 87 octane. Would there have to be changes to engines to support this? I agree with those that say get rid of the Ethanol. It’s bad for your engine.
Remember when you could get 120 octane from Sunoco? My Road Runner used it...
all i run is 95-nocorn in the truck in order to keep the check engine light from coming on I have no desire to be like eUrope.
If your vehicle calls for “regular”, know that it will get 10-15% better mileage on “premium”.
And your fuel intake system will last longer.
