| Answer to: Gas type | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Modern cars will run on regular even if its supposed to on premium, just with lowered efficiency and performance. If it says premium required, just spend the money and get premium. The gas station you get it from also has an impact on your car's performance. | |||||

| Answer to: Running premium gas in a 2020 Kia Forte | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | Mod_Man | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... at least one full tank of fuel to do that. The Kia Forte ECM is not programmed to adjust the octane table upwards and take advantage of extra octane for power. Therefore if you have been running 89, switch to premium (91 or 93 depending on your area), and immediately 'feel' a difference, then it is just a mental placebo effect. You should always run whatever the manufacturer suggests for your vehicle. Running premium once in a while to clean the engine is a myth that has been debunked for quite some time now. | |||||

| Lexus RX vs. Acura RDX V6 Engine question | 21Relevance | 2 years ago | BlueKen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am considering purchasing either a used Lexus RX or Acura RDX. In both cases I'm considering vehicles from 2017-2020 model years. As I was reviewing vehicle spec's, I couldn't help but notice the Acura requires premium gasoline, whereas the Lexus can run on 87 octane with the caveat that performance might improve with premium gasoline. Why I found this curious is that the Lexus and Acura have comparable compression ratios, depending upon model year, and both have variable valve timing. I assume the Lexus might retard firing in addition to the variable ... | |||||
| Answer to: Book suggestions for espiring mechanic. | 21Relevance | 5 years ago | jack62 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... Air/fuel, Spark, Compression. But today's vehicles use dozens of sensors, control modules, and some networks on which the computer modules communicate with each other. If I were young and just starting out today, I'd want to learn about those . Good mechanics are diagnosticians. They don't just see a code and replace the part the code is referencing. Most mechanics today can't even use a scope. So I'll preface this by saying I have no affiliation. I don't belong to his premium channel and I didn't buy his book. I've already learned that stuff. But I li ... | |||||

| Answer to: 2019 Lexus GX460 - Premium or Regular gas? | 20Relevance | 2 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If the manual says 91 is required, use 91. In my state, there is no 93; 91 is our highest grade. If it says 91 is recommended then you can use 87. . I don’t understand why people buy luxury cars but balk at having to pay premium gas. Luxury cars tend to cost more in terms of ownership than non-luxury cars; it comes with the territory. Also, it’s a good idea to have researched which gas to put in before you bought the vehicle. | |||||

| Octane boost vs premium gas | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | RonnyR | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Ok I just bought a used 2018 Lincoln MKZ black label. Its a 3.0 turbo charged engine. It states it take the premium gas 93 octane i believe. I filled up and it cost me $68 for a full tank. If I put regular gas 89 octane I believe and add a bottle of octane boost from say Walmart for $1-2 it would save me almost $15 per tank. It it safe to do this? | |||||
