Higher octane is helpful for high compression engines. High compression causes the combustion to take place faster and can cause pinging and a loss of power. By using high octane with high compression you get the advantage of the extra efficiency of the high compression engine and the delivery of the combustion across the power stroke of the piston, with out pinging.

How a trombone player changes the notes produced by his trombone?
the slide can extend to produce a lower pitch, and it can also retract to produce higher pitches. all brass instruments can also produce different notes by tensing up the lips (higher notes) or by relaxing the lips (lower notes).
What octane do Jeep Cherokees need?
87 Octane is recommended for a stock Cherokee with no performance mods, and even minor performance mods.
What kind of gas should you use on a 99 jeep grand Cherokee limited?
Your Jeep has a computer that would tell and find out what octane it needs to pull the loaded weight; if you use the cheapest low octane gasoline, your engine would need the octane needed to make the combustion explosion and make the cylinders move up and down. Manufacturers place the minimum octane needed for the combustion explosion to occur, but if you use the best or higher octane gasoline, your computer is smart enough to tell how much it needs for its necessary combustion explosion to occur. Higher octane gasoline has much more advantages for your engine, it's more powerful, has injector cleaners and other engine soothing combustion and in other words, please don't think that by using a cheaper gasoline you're saving money, it's wrong!. Your car computer will know how much of the fluid is needed to compensate for the octane needed in the engine explosion, I'd always use super or premium gas and in the long run I'm saving money and have more power in my car. If you're trailer car pulling on regular gasoline your jeep will spend a big amount of the fluid to do the necessary work and you'll be refueling more often.
What happens if you put plus unleaded in a 2006 Jeep grand Cherokee Laredo instead of regular unleaded?
Plus (89 or 91 octane) will nor harm the engine or fuel system on an engine thats call for 87 octane.Plus (89 or 91 octane) will nor harm the engine or fuel system on an engine thats call for 87 octane.
Does higher octane fuel produce more power than regular fuel?
No.
Explain why gas oil is cracked to produce gasoline?
To produce a higher octane fuel. A fuel that will power high efficiency engines.
What type or fuel 87 or 89 do yo put in a hyosung 650R motorbike?
the higher the octane the better, especially, if your in a state which has 10% ethanol in the gas...higher octane does NOT produce more power, but rather, increases a fuels resistance to pinging/detonation..higher octane, will not hurt anything, it can only help save a motor from detonation...when I say "high octane" I`m reffering to no higher then about 93...
Can you use regular unleaded gas in your 1996 deville northstar?
Yes. It is generally a myth that midgrade or premium fuels improve engine performance. It is true that certain high performance engines require a higher octane fuel. this, however, is typically in the realm of racing engines that use 104 octane or better. Higher octane fuels generally just produce more pollutants, and cost more. the higher octane actually burns hotter, and therefore can cause greater wear on the engine. Most cars do just fine on 87 - 90 octane fuels (the octane range for regular unleaded fuels).
How does octane percent affect a car?
octane is how volatile the gas is the higher the octane the bigger the boom and cleaner it burns
Do you get better gas mileage by car if you use higher octane gas?
Yes, higher octane gas does give higher gas mileage for your car. However, the increase in gas mileage may not as great as the increase in the price of the higher octane gas.
What kind of gas to use in 94 Chevy silverado 5.7 engine?
Regular Unleaded 87 octane. The use of a higher octane is a waste of money and will provide no benefit whatsoever.Regular Unleaded 87 octane. The use of a higher octane is a waste of money and will provide no benefit whatsoever.
Can higher octane fuel make an ATV more powerful?
With a stock engine it is best to use the octane grade of fuel recommended by the manufacturer. Gasoline has a fairly similar BTU value per gallon regardless of octane (unless it's oxygenated like VP2 or VP4). The higher octane does allow you to alter aspects of the engine such as CR and timing advance to produce more power because of its resistance to detonation/pre-ignition/detonation.
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane
If a car has been given a certain type of gas for a long time would it hurt to start giving it different type of gas?
It would only hurt if the car required 89 octane or 92 octane and you went to a lesser octane. Those cars are engineered to run on a higher octane. A car engineered for the lower 87 octane might actually see some performance improvement by going to a higher octane once or twice, because the higher octane will help to clean the injectors a "little". Not much though. Over all there is no real significance to using the higher octane. The higher the octane level, the "richer" or "heavier" the fuel is. So if the car is not manufactured for the higher octane, you will eventually cause carbon build up at a faster rate than normal.
Do fuel efficient cars typically use higher octane gasoline?
No, higher octane fuel is only necessary for higher performance cars. Highly efficient cars can usually use the lowest octane fuels, because they are not designed for performance.
What octane for a kx 100?
Stock can run 93 octane and if its modded you need 100 octane or higher if its a high compression build.
