Is it safe to use 100 octane?
expanding on my answer: It’s safe… ish to use on stock engines. The fuel burns cooler and may clog your catalytic converter. You certainly won’t see any better power or mileage from it, unless you’re tuned for 100 octane.
Why is 100 octane so expensive?
Higher octane fuel costs more because the fuel components that boost octane are generally more expensive to produce.
Will 100 gas hurt my car?
So, the moral of the story is; unless you have at least 12:1 compression (of more), do not run any 110 octane or higher race gas in it or you’ll go slower. If you have 10:1 – 11:1, you can run up to about 100 octane and be fine, but if you have in the 9:1 area, don’t even bother.
Is 100 gas good for your car?
The short answer is, no, ethanol-free gasoline is not bad for your car. Most cars today can run on ethanol gas blends up to E15 (15% ethanol) and on non-ethanol gasoline.
Is too much octane bad?
The higher octane gives premium gas greater resistance to early fuel ignition, which can result in potential damage, sometimes accompanied by audible engine knocking or pinging. It’s the fuel’s ability to be compressed more without pre-igniting that results in more power when used in the appropriate engine.
What kind of fuel to use for APR?
APR only recommends using Sunoco GT260 for 100 Octane (R+M)/2 tunes and Sunoco GT260+ for 104 Octane (R+M)/2 tunes. Unless specified otherwise, only use types of fuels as other fuels may not be compatible. Ethanol content varies dramatically.
Can you use octane booster on Apr fuel?
Please note, APR’s tunes for regular gasoline are not designed for ethanol. However, ethanol is commonly found at the pump mixed with gasoline. So long as the fuel trims are not maxed, and the fueling system is not maxed out, this is typically ok unless specified otherwise. Do not use octane booster.
What’s the best octane for a Sunoco gt260?
You may use a higher octane than prescribed by the tune. For example, running 93 Octane (R+M)/2 on a 91 Octane (R+M)/2 program is fine, and in some cases may offer a bump in performance. APR only recommends using Sunoco GT260 for 100 Octane (R+M)/2 tunes and Sunoco GT260+ for 104 Octane (R+M)/2 tunes.
What is the formula for Octane in Nar?
North American Region (NAR) uses the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), (RON+MON)/2, or (R+M)/2 when describing octane. In the Rest of the World (ROW), RON is used when describing octane. RON is the Research Octane Number and MON is the Motor Octane Number.
