every car is different. so same type of car maybe, but very small differences. a car is not a calibrated device, plus the driver moving the wheel on a different angle, tyre pressures, wind direction... any testing like this would be thrown straight in the bin by any analyst.Quote:

lmao aca.
i always think they're full of shit. good stories though when you're bored at home.
98 should allow your engine to perform better than the 95. I'm sure the instruction is just a baseline
How would the 98ron allow the OP's motor to perform better than the 95ron???Quote:

i find that all of our cars are different - my eg civic (d15b7), dc2 teg (B18c2) and libert rx2.5 genIII (EJ25 n/a) all got the best milage and average performance on caltex 95
the civic showed an improvement with 98 but only marginally - the teg and the liberty didnt really show a difference
our 2005 Corolla Accent (facelift) will run the same on just about anything ... we just put caltex 91 in it ... iv tried putting better stuff in it and it didnt make a difference at all
i have found that getting fuel from the deppo is usually cheaper and the fuel seems to run better/cleaner/longer as well
I was talking about this story...Quote:

And there is still nothing scientific about driving a car.
hi guys, slightly differnt question here but i didn't see it worthy of a new thread:
Can too much octane make ur car run rich? (and result in my extremely black exhaust and rear end?
YES lol
everytime i put 98 in my car i get this - same for all my cars
