Thats why V8's can use higher octane, that is unnecessary in rice burners...


Is that in cars or scoots?

I was speaking of 4bangers, don't know if it applies to scoots. Not familiar enough with the engines.

Actually alot of performance rice burners run higher compression to squeeze extra ponies out of the lil guy, which means they require higher octane.

You can have a lot of fun with race gas and a turbo 4, 25-30 psi of boost makes corvettes think twice.
