Re: The truth about gasoline

best way to think of it, its the way the professor said it to us, and thats what made it click for me. If octain, in fact does give a benifit, then why, when you go to the races they are running 110 or 114 octain at the most? you can get up to 160 octain, but it has no benifit, and, the higher the octain the slower it burns, sounds backasswords but it is true, the advantage to high octain is if you have a valve not sealing correctly, the slower burning high octain will burn off carbon
