Octane Raiting

Awesome. Thanks!!

The one benefit of running a higher octane fuel is that it burns cleaner, and your injectors stay cleaner.

Disagree with that. Regular and premium fuels have the same additives, brand for brand. Do some reading at the link....http://www.truecar.com/blog/2011/03/03/premium-vs-regular- gas/

Another link.....https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0210-paying- premium-high-octane-gasoline

Only get a 404 error.

It is fixed. Sometimes here when I post a link a "space" gets added and links can not have a space....https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0210-paying- premium-high-octane-gasoline

I'll check it out.

Thanks....my finger slipped...

From what I read out of this article there Bob, the answer to this question posted here is yes. The main thing is in keeping injectors clean, and the air quality, emissions. Your just going off of the first paragraph of that article, which may be true, but you have to read in-between the lines. Sounds to me there is more befit from running premium gas than not. But one thing is the price of it, and if you don't have to run premium then don't. Its a lot cheaper.

I am not going off of any info in either article. I have direct experience with fuels and additives. I also have a good friend that has been hauling gasoline for about 16 years. There is no benefit running Premium in a vehicle that was designed for Regular. Premium does NOT burn cleaner than Regular. If you run a top tier gasoline at the octane number the manufacturer recommends you are good to go.

I agree with that there Bob.

So was Bob right?? 87 is best gas for a 2011 Impala?

Philip u can run 87 or E85 if u have flex fuel
