Our cars require 95 Octane

[GeoffM]

Taken from Helms. Please explain.

Also notice that its for an f20z1 and f20z2?

They appear to be higher compression which is why.

So to answer your question " our cars do not require 95 octane " because this isn't for our cars

Ah. Didn't see that at all.

Ah. Didn't see that at all.

Not only that, but that is 95 RON octane.

In most countries, including Australia and all of those in Europe, the "headline" octane rating shown on the pump is the RON, but in Canada and the United States, the number is the average of the RON (Research Octane Number) and the MON (Motor Octane Number), called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI, and often written on pumps as (R+M)/2).

The AKI octane rating is usually 4-5 points lower than the RON octane rating, for the exact same fuel.

[deevergote]

95 RON is equivalent to 91 AKI.

So that engine could even be run in California, where they only have 91 octane at the pump.

[marcos dittrich]

Here in Brazil, the fuel has 75% gasoline and 25% ethanol.

[deevergote]

Much of the fuel in the US is 10% ethanol, I think.

Really? What's their premium? 100?

Except for E85

[deevergote]

91.

[GeoffM]

91, and that's it?

[deevergote]

Yep. Can't get 93 octane at the pump in CA... at least not the average pump. Some may have it. They have 87, 89, and 91.

That's one reason why you see most cars with a minimum octane requirement of 91, not 93.




Hell, I have my CB7 tuned on 92. That's what Wawa has. Why, I don't know.

[GeoffM]

Ooohh. I thought you were saying their minimum was 91, but that 91 was also their maximum. That makes more sense.

But, they also get all the cool things first. Like hydrogen civics.

The FCX Clarity was not a Civic! (at least don't say that to someone that paid what, $70,000 to lease one? )

bitch please, when 87 isn't enough but 89 is too much i just use 88

The FCX clairy has many luxury features from the RL ( legend )

such as CMBS and ACC and blind spot monitering

[ibr_adam09]

Is that pic current ?

Cause I just put 93 oct at $3.87
