Do you use 93% octane

at least you have the Georgia peach studios/incentives so you do have a lot of creative mediums around there.

Well, I decided to do some research and we're 12th in one study about AP scores, and middle from another study. I could have sworn we were doing much worse lol. My high school was pretty sorry, but you can get an awesome college education.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Georgia has invested a shit ton in education in the last decade.

Secondly Ive not even had the car quiet sometime. I've had it almost two months. I'll just drive the gas out and I'll put high octane in, no big deal

To the others, really if you have nothing of importance to add to my post, please don't reply. As I'm only looking for useful information

And for the ones with useful information Thanks!

Because you keep posting ridiculous threads where the answer has already been presented to you?

[RichardsFRS]

Seriously dude I don't keep up with what I post or when. I just post when the thought hits me.

But thanks for keeping up!

It's because of the scandal where a lot of atl schools were passing failing gate way test scores to bulk up their numbers. Without that pass you do not graduate.

I just want to laugh at the fact that everyone thinks they are actually getting 91 or 93 or whatever octane out of the pump every time they go to a gas station, and that they are worrying about whether 91 vs 93 will damage their engine.

Everyone's stuck on 91 or 93 octane, when in reality there's no way to conclusively ensure that you will get whatever octane you are putting in every time.

A lot has to do with consistency and quality of fuel delivery, from the refinery to the supplier to the quality of the fuel tanks at the gas station and everything in between.

Nitpicking 91 vs 93 is very pointless and focusing too much on details that won't matter. Modern engines will already account for variations in fuel quality by adjusting timing based on engine knock.

But those details do matter. Even though it may not be perfect 93 or perfect 91, there is going to be a noticeable difference in performance when running either fuel.

And you just pointed out what I am trying to say... people are so stuck on this "91 vs 93" debate that they are complaining about something they have zero control over.

If you have your engine properly tuned, it will maximize power when running 93 octane but won't cause any harm if you somehow run 91 octane or end up with "sub-93 octane gas"

Being stuck on the smallest possible detail doesn't do anyone any good, especially in a street car.

But the 'smallest possible detail' causes a world of difference for some people. It won't cause harm for a little while, but it will decrease power output. And with our cars pushing 200 at the crank, you can't really afford to do without power, no matter how small the detail is.

So then the question is, what is the horsepower difference between 91 and 93 octane gas, all else being equal?

This is a serious question, not being a troll. I really want to know, because I have yet seen actual evidence of power difference that made a difference in drag racing or acceleration numbers.

Truthfully, I couldn't tell you since all I run is 93. (91 isn't offered down here in Georgia) I have seen that members here have said they notice a slight difference with the way their car performs. I suppose I could Google it, but I don't care enough to know since all I have access to is 93
