Quality in Germany vs. America: 93 Octane is "High Quality Gas"? 🤣

EIA: trends in downsized engine design leading to increased demand for higher-octane gasoline

Since 2013, the share of premium gasoline in total motor gasoline sales in the US has steadily increased to 11.3% in August and September 2015—the highest share in more than a decade, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). This trend of increasing demand for...

is the coli #666-central or is it not

Nikka the shyt you linked says higher compression ratios in the 3rd paragraph. I wasn't aware that the newer green cars were using higher compression. I was using performance engines as an example of engines that need high octane but the point still stands. Higher octane = slower burn. That's all. It's not a grading scale for the purpose of quality.


If your shyt ain't high compression or (sometimes) boosted then fukk that 93 octane lol

car manufacturers (in europe anyway) have to lower mean average emissions across their sold cars.

that is why BMW. Mercedes, Porsche, VW etc are downsizing, upping compression and turbo-charging.

that is why the BMW straight-six is no longer de rigueur and why the latest lower ranked porsches only have 4 cylinders

high compression is the majority of new cars these days .. in advanced nations ...

You still can't argue that higher octane = higher quality. The premise of the thread is that it has something to do with the gas quality when it doesn't. If they have more engines with way higher compression then that necessitates higher octane gas. If that's not the majority in the US then it's unnecessary and would be a waste to keep around. Just so nikkas can fill up their stock GS300 with race gas on payday?

if it takes care of your "high compression" (which is the norm these days) engine better then it is better quality.



and i'm not even gonna talk about american roads .



i'll leave that for another thread / breh.

Just because something is made for a specific application and costs more because of that doesn't make it higher quality and if we're not talking high compression it doesn't make a difference. You have no evidence that it improves drivability in a regular compression engine. Go be a eurocac if it makes you feel better breh.

Expect the same quality of roads in a country 27 times larger brehs

WHO care? Their GDP is a fraction of ours thus their opinions and gas quality don’t matter.
