Premium gas does not just power high-end vehicles, it benefits many other kinds of cars.
Do you think premium gasoline is just for luxury vehicles? Think again: it is a common misconception that even causes owners of higher-performance vehicles to overlook the benefits. Premium gas does not just power high-end vehicles, it benefits many other kinds of cars. Premium gasoline is high-octane fuel with an octane rating around 91 and 94. Its higher octane rating distinguishes it from normal and mid-grade gasoline. Unlike standard or mid-grade options, it resists knocking and provides higher performance for car engines. Read on to learn more!
Improved Engine Performance
Premium gas with a higher-octane rating, like recreational fuel, could optimize engine performance in any high-compression or turbocharged engine. Premium gasoline prevents pre-ignition and ensures that combustion occurs at the right time so the engine can perform efficiently. It also helps improve response, so your vehicle gets an impressive pick when you press the gas pedal.
Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
Does your premium gas last longer? Now, this could sound like a myth, but premium gas could actually improve fuel efficiency under specific conditions. Using premium gas in a vehicle that’s compatible with high-octane fuel is quite beneficial. Such vehicles could burn higher-octane fuel efficiently and reduce possible fuel consumption. The improvements in fuel efficiency can vary, but premium gas could help minimize mileage in high-end vehicles during driving on the highway, towing heavy loads or during traffic.
Reducing Engine Knock and Ping
When fuel ignites early in your engine’s cylinder, it will create pressure and a knocking noise. This is known as engine knock or pre-ignition. The cause of your engine knocking can be using a lower-octane fuel than the engine needs. In such cases, it is better to switch to a higher-octane fuel like premium gas. Premium gasoline resists any pre-ignition and allows the engine to adjust the ignition timing automatically. Call us today if you’d like to learn about premium gas even more!
