Correct, but the manner in which many do this is reactive (i.e. piezoelectric knock-detectors), not proactive.
I put max octane in all the cars I own. I don't see a reason to play games with something like this.
- shiroiuma 3y agoPutting the highest-octane fuel in your car is just wasting money: there's zero benefit to it. You should only use the minimum octane recommended for that engine.
- bob1029 3y agoPeace of mind is a benefit. I am not a long haul trucker. I put maybe 100 miles on my vehicles per month. The cost of fuel is not relevant to me.
- LordGrey 3y agoWhile it depends on brand, the detergents and other additives are often better in higher-octane fuels. They help keep fuel injectors and other parts of the fuel system clean, which reduces potential problems down the road (ha ha).
