What whats the difference between 87, 89, 93 octane types of gas ? Any changes theyre supposed to do to your car or what?
very few cars need anything higher than 87. Jags, Shelby Cobras or other high output engines.
the octane rating measures how big a boom you get in your engine's cylinder when the spark plug ignites it. higher octane number, bigger boom. race cars are over a hundred.
Don't the quarter mile fulers run on nitro?
If you have to ask, you should not be driving any car that does not just take 87...As you should not be wasting your money on a performance car.
and for quarter miles, not everyone runs intro...its not everyone in Fast and the Furious cars. Also Some races ban nitro and make it about the car, not the fuel.
Does 93 octane clean the engine when you add STP in it?
Jags &M Benz are not consideted performance cars.
Well I drive a Saturn SC1 coupe. I put 93 in along STP fuel cleaner. I felt the difference in my acceleration.
