| Premium gas | 25Relevance | 5 years ago | Rsollitt | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty. I have a 2020 Toyota CH-R which I don’t drive much because I have a second car. I just drive the CH-R on weekends and put around 20 miles on it each weekend. Since the car just mostly sits during the week, is it on to fill it up using premium gas vs regular. Does premium gas not break down as easily as regular? | |||||
| 87 or premium? | 25Relevance | 3 years ago | chexmix | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I drive a 2008 lexusis250. It says in the manual to put premium unleaded fuel only. Your video on the different octane levels says to “check the manual” but you also say I don’t need to put premium in my gas tank unless I drive a lamborghini or ferrari. What’s the verdict? 87 or premium? | |||||

| ... make sure that it is a "Top Tier" gas brand in order to burn clean and efficiently. Check your engine for sludge and carbon build up. If possible use a fuel injector cleaner that has "P.E.A." to clean your carbon. A.T.S. is recommended, but it is powerful...so use it maybe one or two times a year to prevent damage to your engine seals. A regular fuel injection cleaner with "P.E.A." such as Gumont or Techtron is fine, providing that you use it correctly every 5 or so gas fill ups. (Not every fill up because it's too much) gas is gas but some gas brands can b ... | |||||
| Midgrade with Octane boost vs Premium | 24Relevance | 5 years ago | Tyrell | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Sir Scotty, can Mid Grade gas with octane boosters be an equivalent premium gas? I have my eye on an 2007 Acura TL Type S that require premium gas but if I could use mid grade with octane booster instead with no issues then great. Thanks in advance | |||||

| I drive a 2021 Acura TLX Type S that has 10,000 miles on it. I put premium gas in it because the manual recommends at least 91 octane but says it will run just fine on 87. Do you recommend I continue putting premium in the tank or am I wasting money? | |||||

| I have a 2000 Acura TL and I have always put regular gas and its still running to this day with no problems. On some Acuras you might have "engine knock" if you don't put premium. premium should only be used when you want maximum performance. If you don't want transmission problems you should stay away from the 2000 to 2003 5 speed automatic transmission models as they have transmission problems, Had to get my transmission rebuilt 2 times. There still great cars. As far as I know the 2004-present models don't have major transmission problems. Best of luck. | |||||

| Would I gain anything by using premium fuel on an FCA 5.7 Hemi? | 29Relevance | 5 years ago | Pberni | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, I'm new to your channel and this website so I'm not sure I'm doing this right. I know quite a bit about cars and engines. And in some of my previous cars I only use premium fuel while in others I would switch off depending on the use case or just every once in awhile use premium. In some of my previous cars I really noticed the difference, however, my newest car is a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 hemi and I could not find any clear answer online regarding how this engine deals with premium fuel. I tried it a few times and I'm not sure that I feel ... | |||||

I see it all the time, but there's always "that guy" who says "Nope. saving $500 over a 5 year period will make me a millionaire and I WILL NOT put premium fuel in this $50k car I can not truly afford to maintain properly." Then I get $10k to rebuild his motor, which he puts on a credit card at 26% interest, so he can then drive the car straight to Carmax and sell the car he spent $50k on for $10k and go on preaching the ways of "How To Become Wealthy". ... | |||||

| I saw a video the other day where a V12 Mercedes AMG developed BAD drivability problems after a fill up with "premium" gas. The presenter said he thought it was partially because in the winter all the sports/high end cars were in garages, and that premium was very slow selling and thus contaminated. | |||||
| Answer to: Ethanol | 27Relevance | 9 months ago | Hixster | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Modern cars (both of your cars) were designed to use up to 10% ethanol without issue. As to what's best.. The Motor Oil Geek(Lake Speed) has a video explaining why a premium fuel can produce less wear than a lower grade fuel. Your car will run absolutely fine on whatever the owner's manual recommends, it's what I usually recommend one use. If you want to keep your piston walls and rings as cleans as possible, then use non-ethanol premium as explained in this video: Can premium Fuel Reduce Engine Wear? | |||||
| Answer to: Should I use premium gas | 26Relevance | 2 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If you trust YouTube evidence, there are several YouTubers that have done tests comparing TopTier and non Top Tier, with most having Top Tier with the edge. There is also a AAA study I came across: Non top tier is a mixed bag. It could very well have enough detergents, but doesn’t have the Top Tier branding / certification. And it could also be just the bare minimum government standards. Anecdote: I usually try to go for a top tier. But There is this no name gas station of HWY 101 that I go to on road trips. It’s not Top Tier. But my suspicion is that it was of top tier caliber. I talked to the tankers hauling the gas, and they tell me it is the same stuff that goes into a major Top Tier brand nearby. And it makes sense in this case, because the company that owns the gas station owns several stations, with the same supplier. Some are major top tier brands, some are no names. But the same exact gas. Also talked to some other tanker guy while getting gas at a top tier off I-15. He tells me that the places he delivers uses different formulations. That some a “better” than others. With that said, many contemporary owners manuals will actually say to use top tier gas. So either they are conspiring against us, or there really is something to top tier gas. | |||||
