I'm a chemist and have worked in a lab testing gasoline and diesel. This is for the protection of the consumers in our state. I'm pretty sure most states have a lab to do this. Most of the information in your video is correct and very useful. Thank you for making sure to emphasize the octane rating you see at the pump is NOT the energy content of the gas. It's all pretty much the same between 87 and 93, unless of course it has a higher percentage of ethanol (Uh can we say E-85? why would someone run this fuel 🙄). Ethanol will decrease the amount of energy in the gasoline, but it's added to make the gasoline burn cleaner and is good up to 10%. Something you didn't emphasize enough though is what "octane rating" actually is. It is NOT the amount of octane in the gasoline. There is little to no octane actually in gasoline (octanes are eight carbon hydrocarbons). The octane rating is the "equivalent amount of octane" in the fuel so that will resists knocking as if it contained that percent of octane. Gasoline is mostly made up of mixtures of toluene, and xylenes. If you ran pure toluene as your gasoline, you'd be getting about a 110 octane rating, but this wouldn't necessarily be good for your engine. When gasoline is made, the manufacturers control the mixture of hydrocarbons to get a clean burn and the proper vapor pressure (vapor pressure is the pressure of the vaporized gas above the liquid, not to be confused with the engine pressure). Also the gasoline must be protected from oxidation (this is why you add fuel stabilizer when storing for a long time) and contamination like water or particulates. Every brand of gasoline has slightly different proprietary ingredients to do this (as you've said at about 6 minutes). Also, the time of year will dictate what vapor pressure the gasoline manufacturers must make the gasoline to deliver to the consumer. Forget octane boosters. A pint of octane booster won't raise the octane rating of a full tank of fuel enough to make a difference. If you have a high performance engine that's been engineered for high compression, you're going to know you need a higher octane rated fuel. You aren't going to hit that 87 button. Are you?🤔 By the way, most mid-grade pumps, mix (in the pump itself) two parts of 87 with one part of 93 to get 89. But if you look at the price per gallon, they usually give you the "mid-price" between 87 and 93 for the 89. You'd be better off cost wise, by pumping 10 gallons of 87 and 5 gallons of 93 if you really want 89. I suppose mixing it well enough in the tank might be problematic for the first few miles. Really, you didn't need the 89 anyways. Octane Rating Tests Explained: One more thing you didn't explain well was how we get the octane rating in the USA. Yes RON stands for Research Octane Number. It refers to an actual test engine and ASTM method D-2699 for testing the octane rating of spark ignition fuels. My lab uses a RON called a Waukesha RON engine. It varies the compression of the cylinder to make the fuel knock while holding other variables at constant values (temperature, fuel/air mix, engine speed, etc). There is another test engine my lab uses, it's called a MON or Motor Octane Number engine and ASTM method D-2700. It too is a Waukesha engine that varies the compression of the cylinder but holds those variables at different values, mostly the engine speed is faster on the MON (900 rpm instead of the RON's 600 rpm), but I believe the inlet temperature of the RON is also kept higher. The RON and MON tests give slightly different results for octane rating due to the differences in these other variables. MON is always lower than the RON, by about 10 octane ratings if I remember correctly. In the USA, when you see the (R + M)/2 on the pump's octane rating label, it's telling you that the gasoline is rated by testing by both the RON and MON methods, and the final number you get is the average of the two test results. I rarely hear this average referred to as "PON", but I know it's not PUMP Octane Number. I had to look that up and if you want to trust Wikipedia it stands for "Posted Octane Number". In Europe, they only test with the RON method, as you've said, so this is why their octane ratings are higher. They don't have the lower MON test averaged into their octane rating. Great information in your video for all consumers. I gave it a thumbs up. 👍

The reason why we have 98 as ethanol free is because we have a lot of older cars that usually are parked during the winter. E10 is not good for older engines, and specially if the vehicle is parked during winter. Now we are working on getting 98 into more stations, as more and more people use it.

It reminds me about a Honda Civic I bought and the motor was shacking and they’ve never been able to fix it.

When I changed it 2 1/2 years later, I gave it with a fill tank. 2-3 weeks later the guy who bought it called me and asked if it was normally shaking 😅 he filled it up with Regular at his first visit to the gaz station.

Drained all the fluids including the gas tank. Changed all the belts and hoses. Cleaned the fuel system, replaced all the bosch platinum plugs and wires. Fixed intake leak in gasket. Vacvumed car and washed it. Paint was in bad shape when i bought it. I stripped the paint and repainted with primer 5 coats and 4 coats of clear coat. I did it myself. I saved $1500 new tires and bought tire covers. The vehicle by blue book is not worth but $2000. But this Explorer is in better shape than most newly boight vehicles it gets 23 mpg and 14 city. Owners manual says its duppose to get 19 hwy and 11 in city. If people would just take care of their vehicles they will last. I don't have thousand of $ in tools either. I have good tools that are good enough for the job. If my parts are stress parts a bought better quality tools for those parts. I may have a $1000 in tools $400 just for a tool box to hold them.

I do have a question, though, @ChrisFix... and hope you'll see this and answer. I've been using the mid-grade Plus fuel type. If I should've been using Regular all along, does this mean I've been causing damage to my engine? You mentioned using regular when you should use premium may cause damage, but didn't mention the opposite... for someone clueless like me, I'd love to know the answer. Appreciate the video... if enough people watch it, could be a great time to buy stock in Shell. I'll be going there or perhaps to Speedway from now on, as someone mentioned it's also great gas with additives... is that true too, @ChrisFix? Appreciate the info... I've subscribed now and plan to watch more of your videos. :-)

[@chrisfix]

Using mid grade in a car that requires regular won't hurt anything, but it is extra money for almost 0 or 0 gain so you are better off switching to regular. And as long as the fuel contains the necessary additives (or more like in this case) you will be good to go!

When I had a small 25mph moped, that had a govener, if I bought regular gas it only went 25mph, but when I bought premium, it went as fast as 28mph. This was a big jump for a moped, even though all the mechanics said that the gas would not make a difference.

[@henry3397]

“We changed something but there’s NO difference”, yeah, that logic hardly ever holds

[@rowlandbuck2703]

Small bike engines, and motorcycles have very high compression ratios, which is needed to gain power from higher octane gas. The minimum to benefit from 93 octane is 12.75 to 1 if I remember correctly. The thing about gasoline is the octane rating is measured NOT accounting for the ethanol lowering it a bit. So theoretically any car could gain from midgrade gas, although it wouldn’t be much. After what ethanol did to my Hyundai Accent, I only put ethanol free gas in my cars now.

[@Chevsilverado]

@@rowlandbuck2703 Ignition timing also makes a difference to how much octane you need. If his moped was knocking enough to lose significant power then it would’ve been noticeably misfiring or if it ran with that much knock with no knock sensors trying to adjust for it the engine would be toast.

[@crimsonlight4205]

@@rowlandbuck2703 not exactly, I had a 95 trans am and it had to have 93, if I had a lower octane it wouldn’t ignite every time and would skip. It was stock like 9.5:1 compression so it’s not always determined by compression

When I was a cert mechanic in the 80's and 90's, I ran AV gas at 110 octane most of the time, you could balance a nickle on the air cleaner it was so smooth. You could run Quaker State oil and it may gum up some but the insides would be sparkling in a breakdown other than the valve train area in the head/s. Last breakdown was a couple years ago using premium ethanol and it was still clean inside, just how I like it. But I don't abuse my stuff anymore and don't currently have a race car but parts for one.... or 2

[@tinamcgarrah7794]

Good thing computer controlled cars have knock sensors that pretty much eliminated the pre ignition. But if you buy a car that in the owners manual says mid grade 89, or Premium 91 and higher, don't complain if you have to pay extra for every gallon. You can definitely run the 87 in it and will work just fine until you want to get on it, That is where the higher octane comes in to play... I just run MARVEL Mystery Oil in the gas to lubricate upper cylinders, valves, and piston tops. Especially is good stuff for fuel injectors ! A quality "PEA" included fuel cleaner or" Techron" once or twice a year, really helps cleaning up everything in there too if you really think you need it.. If you drive alot and are constantly filling up your tank and just rotating fuel thru it, and do a good Italian Tune-Up out on the highway every once in awhile, most (regular) cars are just fine on 87. Hi- Performance cars are called that for a reason and buy at your own expense. It's cars that sit with this crappy 10% ethanol diluted fuel that causes problems! Government regulations require cleaners and beneficial products in all grades of gasoline. If I was as rich as the Bidens I'd have AV fuel delivered to my giant underground plastic storage tank, and run that in my lawnmowers too. Unfortunately for me I'm not!

This is great information, and Chris touched on additives a little bit, but I feel like he left an important part out. Yes, you do go with the gasoline octane level that your car manufacturer recommends, but some gas stations have additives added to all three levels of gasoline, and some don't. The ones that do are called 'Top tier'. I only get gas from Top tier gas stations. In the video, he's at a Shell gas station, which is a Top tier gas station, so even if you get regular gas from them, it has the additives that will keep your valves clean. You can do a search online to find out what gas stations are Top tier.

This was her work vehicle and they quoted 3-400 for a new fuel pump installed. He jeep was fuel sensitive, the additives used in our town didn't work too well, but the next town north(different distribution point) worked better. I suggested she try the Shell economy fuel, it was the same price or 2 cents more to see if there was a difference.

Which fuel i should use? They all look so refreshing and delicious but i think ill stay with 87. Put a lil ice cube with it and its a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.

Shell 93 is the worst 93 I've ever gotten. Tried 2 different stations same result tons of knock and timing being pulled. Sunoco was better but not great. Mobil is the only 93 I could run on my tune without pulling timing. Handheld tuners with real time data logging pay for themselves.

I've watched a lot of KZbin videos on all kinds of subjects, and I actually do some of my own within the fitness and movement field and they are not easy to produce. The quality of this production with the animations and everything you did I know for a fact took an amazing amount of time and effort. I don't even do anything with cars and was just curious about what fuel or additives to use and saw this come up. I subscribe to your channel purely because of the time and dedication you put into this one video

Welcome aboard and thanks a lot! I always spend extra time to make sure every video I do is as good as it gets, and for this video, I wanted to get people as educated as possible!

"What is the best fuel to use in your car or truck and why?" Me: Diesel. Because it has a diesel engine.

[@Wutzman28]

in Germany we have 3 diferent types of Diesel 1.(normal Diesel(with 10 percent Bio) 2.Pure Diesel 3. V-Power Diesel with aditive

[@feargripper]

Wutzman Wutz I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you have 3 types and you have more diesel vehicles than us. Most of it is bs marketing

[@flagmichael]

@@feargripper I bet the additive is for better cetane and winterization - and maybe some things I am not familiar with. Junk diesel, just like EPA standard gasoline in North America, probably takes its toll on the vehicle. Anything that reduces the carbon in the DPF is worth it in diesels; anything that reduces intake and combustion chamber carbon in gasoline (petrol) engines is worth it. I drove a diesel work truck long enough to know cetane is not BS marketing!

[@101Volts]

@@Wutzman28 We have Biodiesel in America too but not every station has it, many stations don't. Most are as you see in the video, they may or may not be 2% Bio (they're not marked.) I've seen video of a 100% Bio station but it was in California and I'm in Pennsylvania.

[@MajorSpam]

Isn't regular diesel clocked at 7% bio everywhere in Germany? Even the Aral (BP) ultimate diesel has 7%.

[@colton7373]

Easy to decide when you have a diesel.. you put diesel in it!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

There is diesel #1 and diesel #2. The difference between the 2 is they add unleaded gasoline into 1 to help keep the diesel fuel from sludging up or freezing up in very cold weather conditions.

[@Hatlegratzz]

What's the difference between diesel and diesel excellium ?

[@collomps]

@@BlueDroneBlues In old Mercedes manuals you can se the chapter "adding gasoline to the diesel fuel". Thats to avoid freezing.

As a KIA mechanic around early 2000, there were many pinging issues here in the south. Fuel door claimed “87” but they needed 89 octane to prevent knocking… at least that was how well they built them for the US then.

[@mic4902]

My experience on this is that I had a vehicle throw a P0420 code, turned out to be the Catalytic Converter. After exclusively burning premium for over a year, I never saw that code again. That made me a believer in a cleaner fuels ability to degunk a system, and help prevent buildup in the first place. Now if we could just get rid of ethanol entirely.

[@u-know-this]

We cant get rid of ethanol and with current prices they may opt to increase it so as to reduce oil used. But the price of corn is up too

Excellent thorough video! As an Engineer I can appreciate his attention to detail but still speak in layman’s terms. No need to try to impress anyone with scientific verbiage. I find it interesting that of the 5 vehicles I currently own, Chris and I have 2 of the same. The mustang and T Bird, instead of the Vette, I’ve opted for a Hemi Challenger instead. But coincidentally am currently looking to add a C5 or C6 to the fleet. Great informative video. Keep up the great work Teach!
