It has been proven for years, all over the web, that small 4 banger car and motorcycle engines actually produce LESS POWER with higher octane gas. It is a myth to think that our Yaris engines benefit from higher octane gas, no such thing as "imrpoved MPG" either. Our Yaris engines are not even chipped for higher then 87, and are tuned to run optimally at 87. But try telling this to the boy-racers that equate dicking with their engines and changing the oil monthly with masterbation.
Burning gas higher then Octane 87 is just wasting money, and makes your engine produce LESS POWER...hello?!? Octane slows down the combustion of the gas....leave it for bigger higher compression engines that need that retardation, that are tuned by the factory for higher octane gas. Why would you force the combustion to happen too late in the cycle?!? Incomplete combustion means more stress on the motor, less longevity, and provides a false sense of being. Perhaps you know more then Toyota engineers? Through my kids, I know many Ricer-Boy teenagers that always fill up their Civics, Integras, Corollas etc with Octane 89 or more...what a waste of money! They have this dillusion of "more power"! Dillusions and superstition are hard to overcome, sadly... |
