More people using Regular gas in their cars since the price increase on Super

[pugboy]

I bought a 5 gallon by gas station south of Monroe rd KFC for $29
Kerosene good to keep around house for cleaning up anything oil mess.

brother;s road, and they get real sale too.
where u get that price?

i was jokin inno bro....i srsly thought u knew the price of pitch oil was $1.50
i buy pitch oil in endeavor medford gas staton - by tracmac there nuh - Massey cat-
$1.50 /liter its the pump wit the blue handle -

bought 10 liters yesterday cause my dad wanted it for some odd thing....

if u want lemme kno..i hav a 10 liter container....i go bring it down as far as sando for u...

i srs,,, i run with a kero mix. its not as viscous as the diesel. but that too far to go up, so regularly out of the route.

but when all those fuels need to be imported,, we will see what the world market price will be. i expect a touch in the mid year review, and a revamp in the 2019 reading.

that sounds about right...

5 gallons is converted to liters is 18.9...round off to 19 liters.
price of kerosene is $1.50 / liter....and for the 19 liters is $28.50

so yea... price sounds about right.

Makes you wonder if pitch oil would still be available in the future

it will... kersoene is also used as jet fuel...so as long as theres demand for air travel... there will be a demand for fuel.

[supernedd]

when imbert see this ..he will raise regular also ..lol

[supernedd]

I know for a fact some of the local older nze corollas could not take super yet the foreign used ones/fielders could.

My nze pumping hard with super.....I read in the article where a guy was mixing super and regular...now paint this picture...when diesel reach close to that super price or even more...what would people do?? Not buy it?

is diesel n kerosene men might try to full the tanks with.. if that happen

[supernedd]

Everybody switching to regular and I feel like I'm the only one who switch to premium after super raise lol

i have some coworkers who did the same. they say a dollar more.. might as well let the vehicle drink nice fuel

Everybody switching to regular and I feel like I'm the only one who switch to premium after super raise lol

Before the increase in super, I was mixing premium and super to not completely ruin an engine that requires premium... Since the increase though, started back putting premium as the difference is only about 3 litres per $100. The engine now produces power similar to what it had before and no longer behaves like it is hunting for a gear, when the computer used to pull ignition timing as the fuel quality was poor.
Engine will puke its guts literally if I run regular.

Wish I still had my carburetted Nissan to run regular

so you're saying a carubuerrted Nissan would handle the regular better?? anyone else could vouch for this??? I ask cuz I have a GA15 13 I was considering to switch to fuel injected.........allyuh making meh reconsider

better is a kinda subjective terminology - depending on who you ask.

carb engines hav no ecu to retard ignition timing - timing is done via distributor
carb engines also can be tuned for efficiency.

carb engines can experience the same knock or predetonation as fuel injected variants.
remember carb is just the method of fuel delivery.
it does not impact the quality of fuel or add in any magical anti knock additive.

that being said carb engines may have a lower compression ratio - which may allow it to use regular fuel....

With a fuel capacity of 1800l of diesel ,I might have to change the rating of my boat from pleasure craft.

Why ppl mixing super n premium...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Why ppl mixing super n premium...

to balance the RON

Compression ratio is what matters. Carburetion or fuel injection makes no difference.

could just add a spacer head gasket and decrease the compression a bit.... next engine rebuild.
regalar fuh lifeeeeee!!!!

Many cheap ways to reduce your combustion chamber temps thus reducing your need for higher octane.

Why ppl mixing super n premium...

Was done cause my car needed premium but when they raised the price of premium ridiculously...I wanted to reduce costs without going to low on the octane to cause damage... So I mixed super and premium.
As the costs of both fuels are now close again... Back to premium

Those old Nissan carburetted ga engines had a fairly low compression ratio and no emissions controls to talk about.. I'll admit I only used regular in the car once a long time ago...it was my beater car so didn't much care for what it was burning... It was also a manual transmission car

Before you go 100% regular, should try a 50/50 mix first and adjust timing.

This was the first thing that came to mind when supper went up... Thought was I alone...

[X_Factor]

I ran regular gas for more than 6 mths In a b14 without any problems. ..initially a little ignition rattle but retard the timing a notch dealt with that
would hav continued but was no longer in the area of the pump

its actually $0.75 more per liter..it adds up in the end.
using premium isnt better u cant get more energy from a liter of premium than a liter of super.

again the difference is the ability of the fuel to resist detonation.

That is not exactly true.... You can extract more usable energy from higher octane fuel if your engine/ecu can take advantage of its higher knock resistance.

^^ Exactly

[3stagevtec]

In case anyone was wondering, the regular gas bought from petrotrin has a RON of around 90. I got that info direct from an NP lab technician. He also mentioned as they are NOT going to be importing regular, only super and premium when petrotrin closes..

[kamakazi]

That is interesting as they will still have pumps with regular on them... So they might be selling super under the label of regular

[adnj]

Or just change the label... and the price.

Whats the latest on regular gasoline?

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Regular working flawless in my brother EK3 Civic

He thinking of buying a barrel of regular one time.

But if you all say it eh go have any regular anymore soon well damn...
