On what Vortec engine you are talking about. The vast majority do not require the use of Premium fuel. Use exactly what your owner's manual lists. Using Premium in an engine designed to run on Regular is a waste of money and provides no benefit whatsoever. No more power, no better mileage, nothing! Anyone who tells you different is buying into the myth, and that is all it is, a Myth. But if the engine requires Premium then use Premium. Using Regular in an engine designed for premium will cause engine damage due to what is commonly called pinging.

How did Thmoas Newcomen contribute to the Industrial revolution?
He built steam engines.
95 Chevy Cheyenne but the valve covers say vortec on them. thought vortec didnt come out till 96. is it a true vortec then?
"Vortec did not come out until 96, yours was probably built late in the model year when they started changing the production line over. Unless you have fuel injection, the 95 uses a throttle body, similar to a csrb." Not entirely correct. Vortec came out in 1986 not 1996. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine Vortec is a trademarked name for a line of piston engines for General Motors trucks. The name first appeared in 1986 on a 4.3 L V6.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Vortec_engine
How do you bypass the governor on a 97 Chevy 5.7 vortec?
You CAN"T. It is built into the computer
Is it really necessary to use premium gas in a 2004 Eclipse?
Not at all. Actually doing your engine more harm than good. New engines are designed and built to run on 87 octane. You can go ahead and use regular
What is a 5.3 Chevy engine?
The Vortec 5300 (325.1 cu in) is a GM V-8 truck engine. Vortec 5300s are built in St. Catharines, Ontario and Romulus, Michigan. First introduced as Generation III in 1999, the Generation IV Vortec 5300 engines share all the improvements and refinements found in other Generation IV engines. At present, six versions of the 5300 engine are in production: 3 iron blocks (LY5 LMG, and LMF) and 4 aluminum blocks (LH6, LH8,LH9 and LC9).
Will too much gas octane mess with your car?
It shouldn't. Most production vehicles built from 1990 to date, have a "knock" sensor which accommodates different octane levels.

What was the average life span of a compression refrigerator built before the 1990s?
Compression refrigerators built in the previous few decades had an average life span of about 16 years, and refrigerators and freezers built in the 1990s had an average life expectancy of 15 and 12 years, respectively
What is the difference between unleaded gas engines and leaded gas engines?
Engines built to use leaded gas generally had higher compreesion ratios that made them more powerful. Unfortunately, the higher compression ratios need higher octane ratings to avoid detonation or "knock." These higher octane ratings in gasoline were achieved by adding tetra-ethyl lead to the gasoline. Lazy engine designers also started relying on the lubricating properties of the lead to reduce engine wear, so these older engines may be prone to rapid valve-seat wear even if you feed them high-octane unleaded.
Who makes the engines i Kia cars?
All I know is there is a Hyudai Kia engine plant in Montgomery Alabama. A car salesmat told me their engines were made by Honda..but it seems to me, that at most, there may have been a collaboration if anything.Mazda did make some of their engines prior to 1998. Now all Kia engines are built in house by Kia. The salesman was lying to you. Honda does not and never has built engines for Kia. Honda has built engines for Saturn.
What happens if you fill wrong gas in your car?
Depends on the details of your mistake, and what your car needs. If you car is built for low-octane gas, then it will run quite happily(but at higher cost) on higher octane gasoline. If it's built for high-octane and you put low-octane in, the engine may knock and/or ping, which isn't entirely healthy for it. If yoy put diesel in a gasoline car, or the other way around, it won't run at all.
