Lightweight pulleys? Depends on the color.

I suspect OP doesn't have an OFT or anything close to that to datalog his cars or show evidence of how lower octane fuels effect performance....

Considering I've asked and never gotten an answer, they do not.

Did you notice any other performance differences between non-ethanol and ethanol enemas?

No I don’t have a data logger. That would be the same as me asking if you have ever tested the octane of the gas pumps to determine if you are actually getting 93 octane or if the driver filled 87 in the premium tank. Lol

Naked Bacon it is.

No it isn't, because one would actually be cause for a lawsuit.

It has happened many times before. Diesel has been put in the unleaded tanks.

87 in premium tank doesn’t cause problems so you may have filled up with 87 and not know it.

Funny, that has never happened to me in 40 years of driving.

That would most DEFINITELY cause a problem. It's called knock, and predetonation.
In the case of diesel, it's, "Car don't fuckin' work"

Probably not diesel in unleaded because you would know.

But how do you know they haven’t accidentally or intentionally put 87 in premium storage tank?

Because your car would knock its ass off under load.

The ECU should compensate and pull timing if you used a lower octane fuel, causing the car to lose some torque-ponies. You could either drain the gas or add octane booster.

Tokay444 02-04-2019 03:36 PM

You'd never be able to get enough "Octane booster" in the tank to make any discernible difference. You'd need to use straight toluene, or something like methyl hydrate.

But it doesn’t. I hit 100+ mph regularly.
