Re: When does better performance end? 91 octane? 93 octane? Posted by Ian Glenday [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: When does better performance end? 91 octane? 93 octane?, samk, Sun, 1 Jun 2008 18:14:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Q: So the question is whether any octane over 90 is a waste of money?
A: In a turbo engine there is a benefit of increased power with increased octane. It would only be a waste if you did not want more power. In warmer climes, 93 will keep the power up that is generally dimished due to the high ambient temperature. The choice is yours.
