Beyond Octane
September 20, 2011 | Author: Mike Miller
Overheard at the local track:
- “High octane fuels burn slower.”
- “My motor doesn’t need all that octane so that fuel won’t do me any good.”
- “I need the highest octane so I can max out my timing.”
Unfortunately, those statements are not always true. As a matter of fact, those statements only have some merit in the street gas world where 93 octane fuel is king and 87 is used by most. In the world of racing gasolines where higher octane choices abound, sharp engine builders and racers know they need to look beyond octane to find the right fuel.
