what kind of gas does everyone use?
#243
Dont care about the engine conditions or whatever else you care to mention.
If you compare apples with apples on the same vehicle/motor, then all of your provisos are completely irrelevant.
20% saving on mpg easily offsets/justifies the more expensive gas by quite a margin if your theory is even close to plausible
................and wrt
what exactly is your before and after mpg figures when practicing your "high octane fuel driving" saving? - I am simply basing my 20% estimation of your consumption savings above on my own current safe 600+km per tank with reserve light just on?

I did those tests, a few full tanks of each fuel a while ago: here's the rundown
Standard (90 octane): 450-500km per 55 litre tank
Premium (98 octane): 550-650km per 55 litre tank.
Varied on; driving style, condition of fluids, filters, etc.
Keep in mind, 98 octane is alot higher than American "premium" (91-93 Octane), and "100-150km" was loosely the absolute maximum in monitored conditions, usually I will only get about 50km extra out of a tank of premium, as cleaning filters, changing oil and driving nicely is really too much effort, despite the extra km's. My owner's manual says strictly 96 Octane or higher.
With all that said, this thread is way off topic by now.
Any more questions, do it via PM?
