Is Mid-grade gas a scam? I get why premium is available but ive never seen a car that needs mid-grade fuel. The 9/10ths of a penny price scam has Jew written all over it too. What's the secret?

Premium is necessary for any high performance engine.

>> No.15502381

The cleaner gas promotes a cleaner combustion which is very friendly to your valves. Promotes a cleaner burn. In turn your engine performs better and with proper maintenance, last longer.

just buy the cheap gas and boil it. the sediments will collect on the bottom of the pan and you can use that as premium

Source? I've never heard of that before. There's less air, but that just means that your car will have less power>>15502286

>Knocks and pings will cause more damage on bigger engines
Absolute nonsense. There's no reason why it would cause more damage simply because of size. On the contrary, a larger engine will have a larger, heavier rotating assembly which would withstand engine knock better than a smaller one.

>>15502367
>Premium is necessary for any high performance engine
"High performance" is a pretty vague and broad category. A better way to put it would be:
Premium is necessary for engines with high compression ratios and aggressive timing

>>15502381
Is premium actually "cleaner" than regular? I always thought the only difference was octane rating and maybe some sort of fuel conditioner. I'm not doubting what you said, just curious

>> No.15502815

>>15502470

lol nah. Unless you have an engine that requires it, just put standard in.

If you're really intent on keeping your car running longer, then change your engine oil every 5 to 7 thousand miles and your transmission filter and trans/diff oil every 60,000 miles.

If you're really worried about carbon build up, get your fuel injectors cleaned at the 60,000 miles mark.

10% is hardly 'so much'. as long as you run the car all the time it's fine to run gasahol. if you're gonna let it sit up for a while only run 100% gas. that's what i do in my motorcycle cause it sits so much.

super jewish scam. Thankfully I drive a penis compensation vehicle, so I need 50-60% corn for the whirly bois. Technically is cheaper splitting e85 and premium than regular. Just worse mpg because CoE.

Only children and niggers (euros) cry about gas prices.
