okay so in a couple weeks iam about to drive 4000 kms across Canada back to Toronto... and I was thinking of filling up with regular gas rather then premium threw out my trip... save a bit of money.... would like to know if my mpg will suffer or will my car suffer from this... or should I stick with mid grade/premium
nope no tune... but I always fill with mid grade.. pretty sure our cars say to use 87... what do you guys use and would regular affect my mpgs or the car
yah that's why I don't bother with premium really. but the owners manual says use 87 so that's why im asking about using lower then 87 will be bad or not
Ironically, believe it or not, you may actually see a slight increase in mpg by using 87 octane. There is more energy in a gallon of 87 octane gasoline than there is in a gallon of 91 octane fuel. The 87 octane doesn't have all of the additives to slow down the rate of burn.
I say do it!
Especially on a long, steady speed trip. :thumb:
spry I meant regular is 87 mid is 89 and premium is 91 ... I always get 89 or higher... and would like to know if 87 would affect my cars performance or hurt mpgs

100 gallons of gas is 378.541 liters... our tanks are I think 16gallons or 60 liters so like 6.5 tanks... at around 60 a tank so no more then like 400 dollars... not bad
