higher octane fuel can improve power because of its special fuel chemistry that promotes improved combustion efficiency. Improved combustion efficiency means that more of the gasoline is being burned in the combustion chamber thus making more horsepower; less is being burned/expelled in the exhaust. It's a fact I mean yeah I used 100 octane in my camaro the ***** flew like a ****in rocket!

 

Sorry pal, your still wrong. Use this wonderfull tool called the internet and educate yourself a little. Hint: research the method of find out what a fuels octane rating is.

 

Where are these people coming from? lol

 

if thats true. then ur actually decreasing milage, by burning more fuel, rather than increasing milage? lol.. aubrey's brother here guys!!! uggghhh.

 

What ever happened to that guy?

Anyway, heres some literature for ya giants. I even did the basic search for you, now all you have to do is click, read, scroll. That should be easy enough.

no your wrong kido....read and brain storm
76 Competition 100Octane Gasoline burns cleanly , leaving little or no deposits, Allowing maximum engine power. The high quality stocks used in this gasoline make it very stable and resistant to gum formation. A multifuctional additive package provides carburetor and fuel injection detergency and minimizes the formation of intake valve deposits. Antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors promote stability and longer shelf life. This gasoline does not contain any lead additives or alcohols. There for you car will can more Horse power.

 

*thumbs up* way to fall for a marketing campaign man! You have to be pushing some hard compression or forced induction to get anything over 93 octane. With an LT1 and a decent setup you can run 11.5:1 compression on pump gas wihtout knocking, with the stock 10.5:1 you don't get any benefit from a higher octane fuel...

 

All you did was copy the second paragraph of this link. http://www.pontiacstreetperformance....100racing.html

You kinda missed this part though. "It is suitable for both racing and high performance street vehicles." Do you know what racing and high performance vehicles have in common? They are high compression engines. A 3.8 liter Camaro is not a high compression engine. Itis pretty apparent when the manufacturer only recommends 87 octane regular un-leaded.

I will even post what I said in your other cockamamie thread about octane ratings since you can't do research on your own and comprehend its entirety.

The octane rating of a grade of gasoline is a measure of its detonation resistance. The higher the octane number, the better able the fuel is to resist detonation. Most engines in good condition will run fine on regular grade 87 octane fuel. But engines with high compression ratios (over 9:1), turbochargers, superchargers, or with accumulated carbon deposits in the combustion chamber may require 89 or higher octane fuel. Higher octane fuel only allows an engine to run under higher temperatures under advanced ignition timing under higer levels of compression without detonating. Modern engines with knock sensors ahigher octane fuel may make the engine run better if the knock sensors are retarding the ignition timing, which hinders performance. Running a higher octane than recommended by the manufacturer will not increase horsepower or torque unless your engine is experiencing knocking.

 

Here's the deal. Your spreading false info and not willing to actually do your own research. Copy and paisting lines from some site without any real credentials is not going to cut it. Did you ever have to do a term paper? IF you continue to post wrong info and rumors here I WILL BAN YOU. This is your warning, smarten up and your welcome to stay, continue to be a dumbass and your gone, pretty simple.

 

i dont know much bout fuel... but i beleave your rite about the burning cleaner and what not. but you're wasting most of that octane, it's just gonna dirty the cat. it will prolly burn cleaner, but no HP increase, doubt milage increase, and wasting money.
