| @mfgmarques Nope, there is a BIG difference between octane ratings...to the point where using 87 octane in a turbocharged engine requiring 91 octane WILL cause knock. | |||||

| Hey Scotty, I have a 2019 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T, recommended octane is 87, do you think I’d get more MTE or DTE (Miles till empty/Distance till empty) if I put 91? Also would it affect the car (sometimes I hear you can get more power out of the car on higher octane as well), I seen some videos but I know certain cars with a turbo can run better with 91 or higher octane in general even though it only recommends 87 | |||||

| @mod_man Haha, probably because we use our own experiences to make a point, not "hear say". I've experimented with octane before on my BMW. It recommends AT LEAST 91 octane or HIGHER. That's exactly what it states for this topic writer's car as well. Anyways, I wanted to see how the car would run with 87 octane...and sure enough it ran like crap to the point the engine light turned on for knocking. You learn things by experimenting around, and we were being nice enough to help this person out without suffering any potential consequences of running regular gas. Experience is always better than "hear say". Some people on this forum don't value our experience unfortunately and always want to argue with "technical facts". Thanks for sharing your experience btw, that's awesome! | |||||

| I looked up the 2020 GS350 owners manual on the Lexus site in regards to the octane requirement. page 519 under 8.1 specifications Says...wait for it.....91 octane (research octane number 96) or higher | |||||

| Exactly my point...recommended usually means required in terms of octane ratings. The only car I have actually seen use different octane ratings is Mazda's turbocharged engines. And who doesn't want to maximize the engine's full potential anyways? It's just $0.20 more for higher octane. My opinion. | |||||

| It's not recommended, and that's just common sense if you want to run your engine safely without the risk of pre-ignition. You want to listen to the ENGINEERS right? They tell you recommended octane ratings for a reason. Your asking for potential issues if you do this. What you're saying is the equivalent of saying "Oh the gas station only offers flex fuel, so I need to use it since I ran out of gas." And I've never seen a gas station that doesn't offer higher octane than 87 (at least here in the US). One time I used 87 in my BMW to test exactly what you said (because I'm a curious person, I like to experiment around), and it ran terribly with numerous knock codes. I immediately went to autozone and added in two bottles of octane booster to help, and surprisingly it did. Believe whatever you want, I'm not forcing anyone to abide by whatever I mention on this website. If you want to use my valuable information from experience, go ahead. If you don't, then move on and stop with the constant bickering of "What if? What about the engineers? What about this? What about that?". Clearly you're doing research on your own questions before you ask them, so use the information you find. You're not gonna get anywhere in life if you keep bothering people like this...go do something better than playing smart with people. | |||||
| Should I buy premium gasoline when my car requires regular gasoline? | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | Brandon_Barrera | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I’ve heard from some sources that their, their as in other people, car runs better on 93 octane gas when they’re car only requires 87. My question isn’t if that’s actually true or not. My question is this: I’ve heard some, I’m pretty sure this doesn’t apply to everyone, people say that their car, which only requires 87, works better on regular 87 octane than 93 premium octane? Why would this be the case for Some people?? | |||||

| I brought a brand new 2019 ford ranger with 2.3L ecoboost engine I have seen the video were you state that it is ridiculous how the car company's have put these little engine's in such large vehicles you stated that there is a lot of strain on the engine I agree. My question is the manual says to use 87 octane but I have been using 93 octane gas do you think I will do damage to my engine if I continue to use 93 octane. I brought this vehicle because I like the styling. | |||||

| When there were allegedly fuel shortages last year the President went on record to increase ethanol from 10% to 15%, which is stupid because there's less energy in ethanol than gas. There never were fuel shortages either. | |||||

| Cars nowadays are made to burn a 10% ethanol blend. It's been that way since at least the mid to late 80s, when they started building cars with fuel injection. Lawn equipment you must not put regular gas with 10% ethanol if the owner's manual doesn't call for it. They have carburetors in them and ethanol embrittles them if they're unprotected. | |||||

| It should not knock with the recommended fuel. Your ignition timing could be out of spec. | |||||
