Hey all. A short while back there was a discussion about higher octane gas and how it's suppose to make your car perform better. Well I'm here today to say that is utter B.S. I put 3/4 of a tank of premium in my 65 Polara. The tank was pretty much bone dry, so it was like 98% premium fuel in the tank. Premium gas in Canada is 91 octane regular is 87. I've got a mildly built 440 in the car with a 25 gallon tank (95 litres).
I figured, as per the discussion here, the higher octane would make my car perform at least a little better. I'm saying NO WAY!! Took it out for a good drive today and there was absolutely no difference in performance whatsoever. Needless to say I was a little miffed.
So I guess in a long winded way I'm asking everybody on this
list if they got the same outcome when trying premium gas vs. regular gas? After this little experiment I will NEVER buy premium again. Especially at 15 cents per litre more. That's 57 cents per gallon more.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Cory
