i was wondering what people used for gas in their cars octane wise for a 5sfe, ive heard that it really doesnt matter especially with a stock 5s and i noticed a few posts of people saying they use 91 but i assume those were on swaps and cant seem to get to the bottom of this..
what the hell does it matter? lol and what SHOULD i use? thanks for any input to put my mind to rest =D |

QUOTE (4-eyed-freek @ Sep 12, 2010 - 10:03 PM)  dont you have to use 91 if you advance or retard your timming? Octane rating is a system used to measure how 'difficult' it is to ignite gasoline. Higher octane rating = harder to ignite. Reason racing fuel has such a high octane rating is because they don't wanna risk the gas igniting when it's not supposed to. Personally, I only fill up with Chevron premium. Proven results on my dad's 4AGE. 300,000 miles, only Chevron premium.
