@fckytbAds 2 місяці тому
Yep thats " gauging money" design, and it happen in a lot of vehicles, they design and program the sensors not to meet best efficiency they program to detect low grade fuel and produce misfires, one of the worst examples of this was the sport versions of ford f150 from 2005 to 2010, models like fx4, harley davidson or any limited version as soon you put low grade fuel the check engine pop up. And I mean this was a heavy duty V8, you can put whiskey in those engines and nothing will happen. Right now is similar on any "Flex fuel" car, if the E85 is just a little over 85% of ethanol it will pop up the check engine, it gets to the point where you have to use 15% of regular gasoline and 85% of E85 to avoid check engine lights and programmed misfires. But all brands they get so greedy that they are pushing now this program misfires not only in to this vehicles they also push this tricks in to regular cars, I have seen cheap cars from hyundai detecting low grade fuel or pushing oil changes at 2 or 3k miles, this are not design mistakes this are intentional gauging money designs.

You can tune any engine in the world that runs on 87 but then need 91 or 93 if that's what the different tune calls for. I'm sure that's exactly what Nissan did with those engines. That's precisely why there is a 10 horsepower difference between them. If you tuned the Altima for 93 octane it would make at least 10 horsepower more and run more efficiently.

I had a use for the mid grade! I had a 49 cc scooter that recommended high test, ran fine on mid grade, and pinged on regular. I got the little scoot scoot to save money on gas so I didn’t care too much about the long term health of the engine, So I often chose the weird middle child fuel.
@RSB333 2 роки тому
Different fuels have pluses and minuses in operating cost and engine life. I was an engine builder, so I factor engine life over most things. Premium fuel has higher detonation resistance. Any detonation, even light pinging, shows up inside; it erodes the edge of the piston top near the exhaust valves. The edge of the head gasket is affected too. Premium fuel is more than just octane numbers; it has detergent additives providing noticeably cleaner fuel and induction systems. The fuel flow, injector flow rate balance, and spray pattern of fuel injectors are critical for performance, so the quality of the detergent package should not be short-changed by buying cheap gas. The performance of the motor, is also affected by poor fuel; it's ability to provide smooth power, and the amount of torque it can produce, is reduced. It's efficiency is decreased as combustion is uneven, with the progression of combustion not matching the crank position needed for power transfer. I guess some people take better care of their machines than others. Do you keep your cars for a long time?
@mr.tall-man1573 2 роки тому

When the car manufacturer recommends using a certain grade, I go by that, not by advertising. My BMW motorcycle was recommended running premium.

He’s right. Simply put there is branded fuel and unbranded fuel. ALL fuel is made to a specific minimum standard prescribed by the state. Then branded fuels (all the major name brands) supplement this fuel with their proprietary additives and sell it at a premium comparatively to the mom and pop stations. When I hauled gasoline for 10 years it was common place for stations to order too much 87 octane gas to fit in their holding tank but there always seemed to be room for what was left on the truck to fit in the 91 octane tank. This explains why the station owners went out of their way to treat the drivers to free sodas, coffee, snacks etc.

Very informative video. Here in Antigo Wi., we have two gas stations that have 87 octane gas with or without ethanol, the gas without ethanol is a little higher in price, I believe $3.37 a gallon. And speaking of price, I remember up until about the mid to late 2000s gas prices being in 10 cent increments, so say Regular is $3.17 a gallon, Mid Grade would've been $3.27 and Premium $3.37. Gas in town these days is $3.17 for Regular, $3.57 Mid Grade and $3.97 for Premium and also $3.57 for Diesel which was at one time a little cheaper then Regular gas. Why did the oil companies stop selling the 3 grades in 10 cent increments? They need to bring that way of pricing back.

Something that may have been left out or unknown. E85 in a non flex fuel vehicle is a little more than sensor issues. This can oxidize internal fuel delivery parts kind of like having plaque in the blood vessels it can be a costly fix due to having to either clean out the entire fuel delivery system or may even need replacement. I'm not 100% certain on brand new vehicles but I know there was a rash of this issue when I was working at dealerships *mainly because E85 was cheap.* Mainly the fuel rails would clog up and you'd run into missfire conditions *random multiple missfires.* Nothing's more fun than trying to diagnose a random multiple just to find out the wrong type of fuel was used. It's costly for both the mechanic and the customer.
