Gasoline Adventure



Over the weekend while pulling up to a nearby fueling station to get some much needed gasoline for my vehicle.
I placed my bank card into the card reader, when I was not paying attention I pushed the 89 octane and placed the fueling nozzle in my vehicle's gas tank openning.
While I was pumping my fuel I realized what I had did. I hit the 89 octane button.
Usually I purchase the 87 octane for my 2003 Chrysler Town and Country, but in a state of confusion or accident, I pressed the button for the 10-15 cents more a gallon.
It was too late when realized i was putting 89 in my vehicle. I was pumping the fuel.
To be honest with you I did not see any change in gas mileage. I know some Volkswagens and other luxury vehicles require the higher octane fuel, but I never seen it in my owners manual that it was required.

    What's up PA Ind?

    Most engines will tell you when it is time to splurge on a tank of higher octane, by the pinging sounds emitted.

    The higher octane blends are ones with more cleaning additives and such.

    So when the ejectors get the least bit clogged the engine sounds funny.

    Rather than buying highprice additives to clean the ejectors, it usually is enough to simply fill up once with the 91....yes it costs 20cents more a gallon, but it is good for a pinging engine.

    Thanks for dropping by Sanity's Bluff....notice I didn't say dropping off....

    Your post election comments were right on. It is the taxpayers country.

    Catch you later. Oh by the way, it was in 1989 when I bought my first computer.

    Since then I've went through 6 more computers.

    For less than 500 dollars my computer now has more 'puting power than all of the other 6 that are collecting dust and cluttering my office....Must do something about that.

    Later,

    The only time I have used high-octane in American cars is the big engines as they reach 100K miles.

    most engines are built to run on a certain level of octane so, unless your car's manual specifically tells you to use 87, you're wasting your money and possibly getting worse mileage.
