Hey everyone,
Noob question here, so bear with me, since I couldn't find anything through searching. Just wondering what kind of fuel you guys put into your celicas. I realize that anyone with a swapped or Turbo'ed 6G obviously uses Premium, but what about those of you running 5SFE or 7AFE engines? I would think using a higher octane fuel would increase performance a bit, but does it? Or is it dangerous for the engine? Any more importantly, is it even worth it with the rising cost of gas... Thanks! |

 The grade of fuel has to do at what point the fuel combust due to compression / heat. It doesnt help 'clean out' anything. Suffice it to say there is a difference between buying 'crummy' 87 octane, and quality 87 octane (which will have some additives to help clean the motor), our cars have no need for a fillup of premium. If you're worried about cleaning up carbon buildup run some cleaners through the motor or buy a better QUALITY of gas, you dont need a higher octane. it doesnt warrant running on premium. for those curious about reading about gasoline in detail (ie none of you) GAS FAQ _FAQ This post has been edited by FAQdaWorld: May 21, 2006 - 6:21 PM -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld
