A discussion came up that someone was running 87-Octane in newer vehicle that is listed as "Premium Fuel Recommended".
Has anyone had any experience with using a lower Octane rating in such a situation, and did it effect FE?
This directly related to a possible experiment using the TSX:
- Feasibility of Testing per this Thread
- The "CarChip E/X Data Collection Device" would be used to collect/analyze engine operation parameters and emissions data
- FE Data Collection as usual per fill-up
- Subjective "Ping" and/or performance evaluation
- A-B-A Testing Method Planned
If an experiment is warranted, a new thread will be started with expectations listed.
What do you think?
