Friends with a Saab mechanic. He told me anything with ethanol is bad. We have a Stewart's here in New York that sells the 91 with no ethanol. Sadly it's a dollar more per gal. than the regular. But I make sure I put that in my car on the regular. Yeah I may cheat here and there and put in 87 or midgrade, but, I won't run it all the time. Plus, I get four extra miles to the gallon with 91 no ethanol!

[@realjohnnewburg]

@doubleL99 Makes sense. I have a gas station that does ethanol-free fuel, but it's so expensive. All modern cars are designed for 10% ethanol, so as long as you're not leaving the car sitting without running it for months, it will be fine.

My 09 es350 doesn’t like cheap gas either, it ran poorly on it so I use 89

[@exothermal.sprocket]

The industry has confused folks for like 3/4 century about gasoline by using the stupid terms "premium" and "mid grade". There's nothing cheap about 87 octane. It's the same identical gasoline as 91 or 93, just with less octane in it. Octane increases resistance to ignition (temperature at which fuel burns). Engines set up a certain way require this increased resistance to ignition. If you run 91 (so-called premium) in a system designed to be optimized for 87... you're going to have worse performance and probably more soot dirtying up your engine and exhaust.

[@StopHating-n8c]

My 2020 Lexus Es350 is the exact opposite. Bought it in 2020 with 11 miles. Used 89 to about 19k miles. Switched to 87 to experiment and now at 24k and still using 87. I had a slower acceleration using 89.

I'd then have to put it in gear while still running at high idle and go and not stop until my engine was totally up to operating temp or it would stall and would keep stalling every time I restarted it and tried to put it in gear so I'd have to sit and let it idle until the engine warmed up completely. Then once I got where I was going and parked with the engine fully up to temp, when I shut the car off it would diesel for several minutes and even trying to put it in gear wouldn't stop the engine. Thankfully this was when I was a college student so I could never afford to put in more than $5 worth at a time and that would buy just under 5 gallons but if my car was doing this and I added different gas right away it would still have these problems. I'd have to just run it until I burned up most of the bad gas before I bought more fuel and that would fix it. It was brand name gas too, Chevron.

[@JackMcGuire-em7nt]

89 probably wont ever but if you run 85 in a 91 car and then go up the mountains where atmospheric pressure change it can really mess things up. Actually voids car warranties.

[@Michael-uc2pn]

Long story short if your car is tuned for 91 (says it's required next to the fill cap), it may cause your car to knock. Most modern cars are that require 91 octane though will detect the knocking and adjust the timing/fuel injection/etc to account for the fuel you put in it. They'll just run worse/get less power until you put the right fuel back in it. The safe thing to do is just put the right fuel in your car. 89 is largely useless because the vast majority of cars either require 87 or 91, and using a higher octane rating than your engine is tuned for doesn't have any significant benefit, especially not given the price difference. Oh also since barely anyone needs 89 it's probably not as fresh of fuel.

[@eddiebug1]

I use only Chevron gas in my town it's called Dyck's. If I get bad gas it would only be from one company Chevron. As for the tire pressure light the easiest fix is tape

[@dalebronniman9060]

Before getting in your car you should check air pressure in tires, radiator,brake oil and transmission fluid levels, visual inspection on all wires,hoses, headlights, blinkers. Once inside, check mirrors,wipers,etc. It only takes five minutes .

[@Gene-gu5hu]

Had a curios battery experience. Car wouldn't crank when I came out of a doctor's office. My portable jump starter got it started. Removed the jump starter, went about 1/2 mile, car died. Started again with the portable starter unit. THIS time car died soon as I removed the portable starter. I cheated, left the portable starter attached under the hood and drove the the battery store. Wondered if alternator was bad. Test showed alternator was actually still good. Tech found the battery had such a serious internal short, it was loading down the entire electrical system. New battery installed, all voltages returned to normal, no further problems. Incidentally, the battery that failed lasted SEVEN years. Certainly got our money's worth from that one!!!

[@stephendiamond9893]

I saw one of your videos, Scotty, which explain the differences in how one gas is different from another brand of gas it comes down to how it’s treated. When it comes to my diesel, I always go to a place where I know the townships use it . Never had a problem. I don’t use offbrand gas

[@sc0tchlvr]

About the starter and the battery: If the battery won't accept a charge sometimes it will produce a condition where the bad battery will suck up so much energy that no matter what you do to try to jump start the car, it won''t start. If the bad battery has some bad cells that suck up power, then there is no way to jump start the car no matter what you do. You could have a huge power source on a huge truck that is rated for a thousand watts. It still can't compete with a bad battery that is sucking it all off to ground so all of that power is still not going to be able to start the car. If you disconnect the bad battery and then try to jump start the car, it will probably work on starting the car. If that is the case, the battery has low resistance and must be replaced. When you replace the battery check if the alternator is actually charging the battery. If all is well in that regard then you have a good working system again and then you are good to go.

[@melanieschafer1297]

My dad used to continuously fill the gas til it dang near runs out, then complain his car’s check engine lamp come on. I’d tell him stop overfilling your tank! My uncle bought the car once he died and I told him about that and he never had another problem with that again.

Power doors how lazy do you have to be, I hate all that crap they put on cars for lazy people and nanny government requirements

[@christophermarshall5765]

Some people buy vehicles with power doors because they don’t have the strength to open them on a vehicle that doesn’t have them. These people have physical disabilities. It isn’t just those who lack the ability to open normal sliding doors that buy them. Some people who are wheelchair users buy them, because they’re not able to open a normal sliding door or tailgate. I have friends in wheelchairs who have such vehicles. One I saw yesterday at the shopping centre. He is in a wheelchair. The tailgate on his car is a power lift and power close job for obvious reasons, meaning your comment is stupid.

Years and Years ago (23), I drove our car to Florida from NJ. Got a tank of bad gas in Georgia. But it didn't clear up after subsequent fill-ups. The only really bad symptom was on starting from a standstill, there was significant hesitation. My hypothesis at the time, was water in the gas. I bought some fuel additive that was suppose to fix water issues (I think it was called "Dry Gas"). After adding it to the tank, I don't think I drove more than a mile when the problem completely disappeared.

[@williamcaspers5252]

When the TPMS light comes on, and the mounted tire pressures are good, check the pressure in the SPARE. This happened twice in my wife's car. Some people may not know that the spare can have a TPMS sensor. While I periodically checked the mounted tire pressures, I was failing to check the spare and it was decreasing over time. If the light comes on, don't just reset the TPMS, check and refill the spare first.

It seems to me the higher the octane rating, the hotter the engine runs, because the fuel ignition point is higher (a larger explosion) in the cylinders. A hotter engine is not necessarily better, especially if the cooling system can't keep up with the higher operating temperatures.

I have never had this experience with so called "bad gas". If you go to a reputable gas station, chances are you won't have this issue.
