I call bs on that! If it was just about the way I said something, why would you need to send me off to wiki to read some articles on octane ratings? Inconsistent much? Also, what was so “asshole”-ish in what I said that made you to react the way you did?

Projecting much? So, explain to me the, how a given engine that is already optimally(!) designed for cheaper fuel, and is already protected by the ecu from knock, can get better results with higher octane fuel, if after using higher octane, that engine still has THE SAME COMPRESSION (engine did...

what you have reposted, backs up what I said. Octane rating is a level of resistance of fuel to self-ignition. Therefore if the engine experiences no knock with a given 87 rated fuel, raising its octane rating to a higher level will not change anything, because the only thing that is different...

I don’t think you got my sarcasm with my post about 103 octane... at least, it appears to be the case.

There is a great deal of people who know nothing about cars and there is a very small number of them who actually know what they are doing. In the majority of cases they are employed by R&D departments. I wish I was a preschooler, but I am affraid with two engineering degrees that I already...

Research what?

92 in corolla? Why not 103? It must be better! Unless your corolla is FI modified, going above the recommended octane rating is worthless...even though you might feel like the car runs “smoother” or “purrs like whatever”. You only give more money to the oil refineries for nothing more in return...

Wrong. Higher octane gas burns in exact same way as regular one does. Energy-content wise it is the same as 87.... Higher knock resistance does not change that behavior. It only makes it more resistant to self-ignition. So, when you read this type of baloney being stated, you can disregard any...

I use 87 E0 and comparing to E10 I get much better fuel economy. Using 91 would also improve the economy, but only when comparing to non-E0 types, if that 91 is E0. Acceleration wise, technically an engine designed to run only on 87 could use a bit higher knock resistance of higher octane fuels...

Who the f-k would use aluminium lugs? Learning experince? Sure... but you have to be completely inept in the engineering and materials department to assume that Al lugs would be just as good as steel ones. And you do confirm your ineptness when you decided post that same old tired shit...

1. Synthetic oils run for 7500-10000 miles between intervals (assuming your car engine reaches operating temps at every trip), while conventional oil is good for only 3000-5000 miles. 2. I have 2011 LE with 107k - no noticeable oil burn even though it was an ex rental in her previous life. Are...

I was able to fix the problem by adjusting rear brakes with a screwdriver. Basically, you adjust them so that wheels just have a bit of drag and do not spin freely (no parking brake) engaged. That removed that “slack” from the pedal. Watch this video starting 7:10 mark. You will see how to...

Tune up parts do not add value. In fact, it takes away the value. Corollas are known for reliability as it was designed to be reliable by the manufacturer. Adding stuff that wasnt there and painting hoses screams “ricer” and those types of drivers usually dont really know a whole lot about...

does it do that every time you attempt to start the engine, or was it just one odd time? I experienced a similar problem twice. I turned the ignition key to on start position and immediately released it back to ON. Engine kind of almost started and then stalled. I later found a code (I think it...

Correct, but using higher octane fuel in the engine that does not have enought compression, will give you no advantage....Unless making your wallet lighter is concidered to be advantagious.
