What Octane grade are you running?

[Vigilant]

I have only had this '07 PPV for a week, but it seems to do considerably better with 93 Octane than 89. Which Octane grade are YOU running?

Thanks in advance.

91 or higher here

 

[akbrener]

89

93 and I'm tuned for it.....

Non ethanol 93 is even better but I gotta drive up north for it

I wish I could get 93 here :/

Mid grade here. I have a BB tune also. Cant think of the number off the top of my head but its not as high as some other areas in the States.

I use 89 in my 2011 PPV. How better does yours run on 93?

Mid grade also. I'm with puck, up at altitude we get lower octane across the board. Mid grade here is 87.

Not really 95 is the lowest i can get around here. And I guess there is a difference in octane lvls between usa/eur

 

[07Burb]

oh I gotcha. I wasn't aware that you were over in Europe. That is like race car octane for the US

Always 93... I always check to make sure it's 93 and not 91 labeled as 'premium' and is the same price as 93 at other stations.

OTOH, I have considered trying E85... apparently it's a lot higher octane and will really wake a vehicle up.

It will...and you'll get half the mpg of gasoline, too.

BBtuned for 89 but nearly always use 91.
