Superchargers and Premium Gas

just use the 93 and save $3

>Buying a car you know requires a specific fuel grade when you can't afford said fuel grade.

>>16605915
USE THE RIGHT FUEL POORFAG. The difference between grades is less than 10 bucks. kill yourself.

>>16605915

I thought premium was only 20 cents more expensive than regular?

>>16605915
If you're actually considering this you're either a retard with no idea how these things work (I'm guessing so since you had to google an octane booster) or you don't really give a fuck about your car.
That being said, do what the fuck you want. When your engine seizes and you throw a bitchfit about GM build quality don't expect us to care

>>16605915
OP is a fag booster

Don't be bill.

>>16605915
Jeebus OP either buy the right fucking gas for your vehicle or sell it and buy a Geo Metro you can beat into the ground like the twat that you are.

threads over guys

>>16605915
Lets say you put on average 10 gallons. 93 will cost $7.60 more than 87.
>inb4 im a dumb ass that runs my shit all the way down till the low fuel light comes on

The cheapest octane boost @ walmart after taxes is going to be around $4.

You will save yourself $3.60.

Just get the premium fuel you fucking negro.

>>16606025
Per gallon, but across purchases of $10+, that adds up.
>>16606010
I can afford it, I just want to be a cheap piece of shit and save a couple of bucks, I just don't want my spendthrift to ruin my engine.

>>16606132
You'll actually save some good$
Obviously you are a nigger and you're just gonna steal the octane boost

>>16605915
if you can stay off the fucking pedal you can run 89 and not need the octane boost.

>>16606157
Elaborate.

>>16605915

Any octane that actually works will cost you at least $10, the cheap ones don't do anything.

For example if your car has a 16 gallon tank it will cost you $35.68 to fill up with 87, $46.24 with 93.

Filling up with 87 then using the octane booster
will cost 45.68, you are only saving 0.56 per tank.


Don't risk your engine for 56 cents you jew.

sell your SS and buy a camry you fucking loser
if you can't afford that small of a difference you don't need it

>>16606163
There is nothing to elaborate you monkey. With 89 you wont ping unless you try to put a heavy load on the engine.

>hay errybody im OP and I cant afford 7 extra dollars a week.

>>16606179

unless it's hot out, then it will ping under moderate load and the knock sensor will scale the timing back, then the car will be slow as shit.

You got to pay to play negro.

>>16605915
why do yanks have such crap fuel? If you have a Forced induction car you need Premium and the highest grade you can get

Octane booster isnt enough if the fuel is already CRAP

>>16606185
And you will be a slightly richer man. Alternatively you can sell the car and buy a civic.

>>16606180
you forgot the part about driving a super charged econobox and not wanting to pay for fuel.

>why do yanks have such crap fuel?
Why do europoors always think the US has shit fuel? Octane boost is just a gimmick to get money from broke blacks, and dumb asses that think more octane will make their car faster.

>>16606185
>>16606189
>>16606201
it still applies.

>>16606209

I wasn't defending the use of a lower octane just saying what will happen if he does.

car knocks, timing scales back, car loses power.

Not worth it to save a few cents.

>>16606207
ausfag here we get good fuel but not as cheap as you

>>16606025
I'm currently paying 60-80 cents more. I vaguely remember reading something about premium lagging regular in price changes simply because they make less of it but that could be total bullshit.

>>16606339
premium is just shit thats slightly more refined and higher grade additives, i'd someone to actually go around and test the octane difference between regular and premium i bet there isnt a big difference these days

UNLESS you know exactly what your buying and its trustworthy

AVGAS/110 Octane Race fuel etc.

lol everytime we talk about fuel....I get depressed.

Compression and timing.

if your compression is greater than idk, 10.5:1 or you advance timing, you may reap benefits of a fuel less prone to predet.

different brands do different things with fuel sensors, some take 200miles to realize fuel has changed to remap, others do it a lot more frequently, some are ready for e85, ect ect.

So if you have a premium burning machine, it will retard its timing (losing power & efficiency) if you run less than what it calls for, again dynamic thing - some say premium is 91AKI (thanks cali) others 93AKI.

If you have a regular burning machine and throw in premium, nothing happens, no gains over regular, I have a 5.3l that has advanced timing to the point I ping on 91AKI, I haven't increased compression yet but I actually gained MPG with the tune, that could be more of a transmission table change over stock than advance timing that did that though.

I use a gas app, I've found 93 $.50 cheaper within a mile of each other.
