How do any of you know that you are actually getting 95 octane. Engen and Sapref are down and no longer producing, Fuel is imported so my question again is HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE ACTUALLY GETTING 95 OCTANE?
@daniG10195Сағат бұрын
I know because my car is optimized for 95, it would run super badly if it was getting worse quality fuel. Performance engines are sensitive, so you monitor them closer

Unbelievably poor knowledge of vehicles, fuel, fuel tanks and a dismal attempt at testing fuel consumption. This has nothing to do with fuel quality mate.
@macmedia.01 I did. Your video is misleading. Your description should also mention that you have zero knowledge about the properties of fuel, the shape of fuel tanks, or the correct method used to measure fuel efficiency. But, likes before learning, hey?

This is NOT how you measure and calculate average fuel consumption. You will at least need to fill up and run to close to empty a few times to start getting average consumption from a certain station.

WHAT? What are you talking about? The time of day you fill up your car has no influence on the volume of fuel you add into the tank or the car's performance. That's an old wife's tale. Please educate yourself.

Welldone my bro. I think you should have at least done two fills at each garage to eliminate any errors in driving conditions. Also not sure if you visually fill at the same point each time from your visual gauge as compared to filling when the empty light goes on. I must say good video and very interesting set of results. Keep up the good work👌🏻
@macmedia.012 күн бұрын
@@moffatk7948 only reason I didn’t want to wait for the empty light is because the car is new to me so I don’t know if it works and I’m not super sure what dirt is that low at the bottom of the tank but thank you for the feedback. Would definitely have been more accurate if I done it twice
