Hey,
I had been reading the thread on gas and how it effects everything. Anyways, I just found out that certain Sunoco's have 100 octane available for use. How would this effect the car? Would that be too much? The reason I'm askin' is I'm going to a 1/4 mile track in a week and a half for a maxima meet and want the best time possible. I ALWAYS use 93 octane. I can get 100 from sunoco, or I can just get gas at the track, which I believe they have 104 octane. Any advice?
Thanks!

 

The more octane the better. Although on anything shy of a turbo/SCed maxima you won't see a damn bit of difference. with 100 or 104.

 

so 104 to 100 is no differance? but you mean it's better then 93

 

It's better then 93, but you won't see a difference going from 92 to 104 in your maxima.

 

I herd my boy from hebron smoked you in his acura "gsr green" say it isnt so.

 

Um.. considering there isn't insurance on my car (meaning I can't drive it) while I'm up at school, don't know one person from hebron, and don't bother to race in a slow maxima... Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim gonna guess you're mistaking me for some one else.

 

your been in school since 97? Hebron is the next town over. Colchester, Hebron, and Lebanon all have a combine population of 500 people.
P.S he dosent havent insurance.

 

Dude are you high? Seriousy question because you sound high.

I've owned my maxima for under 3 months. Not since 97. Before that I owned a white 1990 turbo AWD DSM.

I've only lived in colchester since 2001.

Colchester's population as of 1999 was 13,600. THE TOWN YOU LIVE IN HAS 7000 PEOPLE IN IT. Whoever told you about the 500 people is a MORON and should be shot.

 

dude dont get mad, it was over 6 months ago he told me. You had your car for three months, but your in school, your not insured. When do u drive?

 

I'm in college... not high school... and why did you think those 3 towns only had a combined population of 500? Our high school has a higher enrollment.

 

A whopping 13,000 people wow, lebanon has that many cows. I havent lived in CT since 1997 and are you saying i should be shot?

 

Please tell me you dont go to Uconn.

 

I guess if you're the one that thought there were 500 people in 3 towns.. yup.

 

Your corny, see me at south

 

No I do not go to UCONN.

 

I never said you did.

 

Shut up. Both of you. You've wasted space on the forum for this? Take it to PM.
And it's not " The more octane the better". Smokeydriver, find out what higher octane does. Going too high isn't going to do anything but waste money. Some cars even lose power when they go too high.

 

Eric, you must be a homosexual. "Ahh shut up"

 

Um... I'm sticking by my saying and that you're high.

 

The higher the octane the more clean you car will run. Its much less reactive than low octane. Which means its predictable and stable, better performance, gas mileage. You will notice the difference especially on hot and obressive days.

 

Actually reactivity has nothing to do with it.

The reason why higher octane makes more power is because the higher the octane, the cooler the burn. Yes that's right, the COOLER the burn. Which is why it's very important in forced induction cars. When you add boost, you increase cylinder pressure and therefor you increase heat. With a cooler burning gas, you can run higher sustained boost pressures without fear of preignition.

That's not reactivity.

 

You missed a quote! " see me at south"

 

WTF does "see me at south" mean?

 

This thread will be locked in under an hour, Im sorry to see you guys can't get along, Please take it elsewhere.

 

Who's not getting along? Man you're sensitive.

 

Yea it will be locked........nOOb already fighting???

 

Is 87 octane reactive? yes. Do you run 87 with forced induction? no. Connected the dots. Beside you said performance isnt noticable in higher octane. The more reactivity the hotter the burn. Yes that"s right, the HOTTER the burn.

YOUR BRAINS ARE NOT REACTING!

 

I'll go through this slowly since it's obvious you've never taken a college level chemistry course.

Reactivity has NOTHING to do with heat mmkay? Get it? NOOOOTHING. Mixing bleach and amonia is highly reactive, yet gives off VERY LITTLE HEAT.

 

I think you just owned yourself.

 

hahaha

 

Yup means u go to uconn.
i said "meet me at south".
yo said "i dont go to uconn".
i said "i never said you did".

Come on i'm not going to explain the logic Oh great husky.

 

hahaha oh man I'm tearing up over here haha

 

Yes i own myself, and your family

 

hahahahahahahahaha!!

 

......

 

When is the last time you seen amonia and bleach in a gasoline engine?

 

Um it doesn't matter. Reactivity is reactivity. The word still means the same whether you apply it to gasoline or chocolate cookies. Don't be angry that you you're wrong. It's ok.

 

your compairing maxima ***** rider with apples.

 

You must be a freshman taking weak *** organic.

 

I'm a junior thanks. Again, don't be angry that you're wrong. It's ok.
