Advantage of High octane (Premium fuel) Over normal fuel

[mzakria47]

salam,
i want to ask what will be the advantage if I use high-octane fuel only in my car as for a few weeks I have started filling it with only high octane and the improvement I have noticed is its performance. starting has improved massively it takes less than half self to start hmm what else will I get as a benefit if I continue filling it with high octane?

as far as i know, the RON grading is mentioned specifically for an engine , going for higher and expensive fuel grade than recommended is just waste of money, no benefits to engine.

Which car you are using? If its cr is low, then uptill now, your engine would be ruined flooded with black soot, too much black carbon.

Secondly again note, half self start is not the parameter but misconception infact so this is not performance judge.

thank you so much for the information. please guide me how can i know about my car's engine required RON?

[mzakria47]

thank you for guidance. Till now the benefits I saw are 1) Better mileage 2) Improved acceleration 3) change of engine sound on idle even when I am driving the car, also how can I make sure that what are the recommended RON of it? as far as I know swift 2012 holds M13A engine.

Your car doesn't necessarily need high octane. It can run on normal fuel which is 90 ron these days in Pakistan. Rather than any benefits it will drain your wallet pretty fast.

this information is provided in car's owner's manual.

higher RON fuel gives better performance (and mileage too) because it has more ability to be compressed in the cylinder before detonating...

the bottom line is, if you are happy with the per kilometer mileage to fuel price ratio , and it does not hurt your wallet.. there's no harm otherwise in using higher RON number than recomended .. it's bad for engine health to use lower RON, but higher (to a certain level) would not hurt the engine.

oh, so you have a Swift... yes the car runs perfectly fine on regular fuel and does not require high octane; however, if you can afford it.. the engine wouldn't mind it at all : )

btw, what mileage are you getting from it and what is the difference between both mileages ?

[mzakria47]

Thanks for your good justification I really appreciate it. You are right swift runs well with normal fuel too. The only gains I have noticed till now are the same as you have mentioned especially since the overall performance of the car has improved. I heard it's also good for a complete fuel system as well. for me feeding it with high octane is not a problem because I drive my car not more than 15kms per day. for mileage, it's better than running on normal fuel until/unless I am not being aggressive with the acceleration.

That's good,
but have you calculated how much of a difference does it make .. regular vs. high octane ?
and what mileage are you getting from your Swift (in which city by the way) ?
just asking to compare the numbers, as i also have Swift 2013 : )

[mzakria47]

Not yet bro I will calculate the exact figure soon. as I believe my car is good with fuel consumption if i drive it with a light foot. koi b gari ho us se fuel average nikalniiii parhti hai if someone is fond of driving aggressively then one can't blame the car for its high consumption. btw i live in isb.

Search and read many posts regarding disadvantages of usong high ron in low ron requirement engine.

Black soot will come because of low burning of high octane in low cr engine.

Always use only that fuel which is recommended. Anything higher or lower than that will not give optimal results

Nhi bhai unko dilli tassali hoti hai so he will continue using Hi-Octie...science gae daahi lay ny..

[engnr.mubashir]

Brother you don’t get same RON in Pakistan for what engine is tuned. For example If any fuel station in Pakistan claim to have 91 RON fuel then minus 2 from it and that’s what really you get. Pakistan fuel supply companies don’t give you real RON fuel. So 91 here is 89, 95 is 93 and 97 is 95 RON.
And this have been told by chemical lab engineer from Pakistan biggest oil refinery company.
Total here is only giving is you real RON because he have personally tested it’s RON in Lab.

okay brother thanks for letting me know. mix karma leyna theek hai?

[mzakria47]

mix karwaa leyna theek hai?

[mzakria47]

brother meri gariii hai us mey mein high octane use karu ya normal fuel.kis si ko issue to nae hone chaye mein ney post keya for general discussion. ap jaooo daahi leyney

[harrissaeed89]

Ha ha ha...meri gari meri maarzi....
