Whether a higher octane fuel improves or impairs an engine's performance depends on the design of the engine. In broad terms, fuels with a higher octane rating are used in higher-compression gasoline engines, which may yield higher power for these engines.

2022年11月17日 · The higher an octane number, the more stable the fuel. Retail gasoline stations in the United States sell three main grades of gasoline based on the octane level: Regular (the lowest octane fuel–generally 87) Midgrade (the middle range octane fuel–generally 89–90) Premium (the highest octane fuel–generally 91–94)

2023年9月9日 · If you put higher octane fuel in your car, it will run more efficiently and produce less emissions. The higher the octane rating, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. This means that higher octane fuel can be used in higher compression engines without knocking.

2019年8月4日 · We tested higher octane fuel than manufacturers require on the Honda CR-V, BMW M5, Ford F-150, and Dodge Charger to see if it impacted acceleration or MPG.

2025年2月26日 · Use the map below to locate a gas station that serves 93 octane. Enter your Address or City or Zip in the search box. If you don't find one near you, that doesn't mean there isn't one. It just means we haven't added it to the map yet. If you have a station you'd like to add, please submit it via the form below.

Octane rating is the measure of a fuel's ability to resist "knocking" or "pinging" during combustion, caused by the air/fuel mixture detonating prematurely in the engine. In the U.S., unleaded gasoline typically has octane ratings of 87 (regular), 88–90 (midgrade), and 91–94 (premium).

2022年6月14日 · A higher octane gas allows your engine to have a higher compression ratio. With higher octane gas, your car will have a more advanced ignition timing or forced air inductions. Most superchargers and turbochargers are the ones that need higher octane gas.
