Re: News article on switching to Regular gasoline
Jeeze guys, settle down... I do understand engines and there was a time I understood octane ratings...but one thing I do know is how to converse with other people in a civil manner. To Idaho, I wasn't talking about E85 (crap) nor was I talking about 93 octane fuel. We were discussing 87 vs. 91. And yes it will require the engine timing to retard, but I don't care. And I doubt there is that much delta in efficiency (does anybody here know). I hardly ever drive over the speed limit nor do I flog my car, period. (Yes, I could have bought Cobalt but I bought Crossfire…free country and all) I use it just like I would a daily driver because that's what it is, a very handsome daily driver. Now, since I paid for it and the know-it-all wine guy didn’t, I'm gonna run 87 octane in my car until I feel the need to take it over to the race track.
Know-it-all wine guy: you sound like a socially retarded engineer. I know this because I’ve worked with a few. You need to take it easy on the sauce when writing these replies because you come across as know-it-all a$$. You don’t know me and this isn’t the forum for writing an engineering dissertation, so I won’t…if I even could anymore. Try keeping your unsolicited personal opinions to yourself. The anonymity provided by the internet seems to bring out the a$$ in people like you.
