Octane Ratings

Some people are real good at necroposting That's when you post in a thread that's over 3 years since the last time it was posted in

Be that as it may, the biggest thing today is trying to find gas that has no ethanol in it. I think Shell might be the only one's left here with all gasoline gas.

Necroposting is encouraged when it is on topic. Good job wacky!!

most likely, it will not lead to improper operation. What I found was this. On cold weather starts, 85 octane worked better than 90> octane. Other than that the extra .60 cents a gallon is hardly a factor at 84 mpg.

you are so right lower octain starts it easyer,higher octain gives it abit more power but harder to start.

a side note allways use shell v-power if you can get it.all the others have 5-15% ethenol.ethenol does NOT mix with oil,a death note for a engine using fuel and oil as a lubicant.

I somehow knew that if any Gas Company still had gas with no Ethanol it would be Shell and we have Shell stations here

I race dirt bikes so I run my all my engines on 2 stroke racing oil.
