were not poor college kids, we don't care about gas prices, just stick it on the gold card

I'd take domestic muscle over a traction riddled FWD anyday.....

And Civics really suck simply because of retards like you, who post like this, without having a clue.

man i have a grand am and i like the sporty look of it but i could care less about the gas prices cause i still put 91 octane gas cause 1-i work 2-i've worked on the car myself and done all the maintenance and small mechanical jobs needed to be done on it 3-after i got in a little incident i was still able to drive it back home on a spare tire, and a busted rad. So yes some domestics suck and some imports suck but who gives a its a damn car forum its for cars and the people that drive them. BTW i am a college kid and i work to pay my bills, tuition, books, insurance, gas, but i make sure at the end of the month i dont have to go selling something i bought a week ago.

I just love seeing days when 94 is less than $1.00 a liter. Makes me all happy!!!

i know sunoco ultra and i got a gift card cheap too i paid $700 for a $1000 sunoco card so its saving me big time whenever i buy 94 at sunoco

and the point of making this 2nd thread would be?

oh, it's a newbie trying to make a name for himself on gtcars :|

you have 4 posts and already you're trying to make a name for yourself...just stop. if you want to make a name for yourself quick times, just start by making fun of me within your first few posts. then again, a few have tried and it got them nowhere...which happens to be the same place you're headed.

lol why would you pump 94 into a grandam?

because its better for the engine and its lasts longer and u get better mileage without have to change the fuel filter and injectors as often.....and btw i normally put 91 and not 94, i only use 94 when i do tune-ups and oil changes

dj_jake

sounds like you bought into the marketing without really knowing if the extra octane will actually make any difference. meh, i dont really care, people like you help guarentee 94 will stay at the pumps for those that actually need it

well the higher the octane the less carbon deposits there is from ur gas tank to the fuel rails to the injectors, or u buy a carbon clean-up spray for $8 every 3 months cause u gonna starts burning more gas with all the deposits in there.
and...."The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. When gas ignites by compression rather than because of the spark from the spark plug, it causes knocking in the engine. Knocking can damage an engine, so it is not something you want to have happening. Lower-octane gas (like "regular" 87-octane gasoline) can handle the least amount of compression before igniting.

The compression ratio of your engine determines the octane rating of the gas you must use in the car. One way to increase the horsepower of an engine of a given displacement is to increase its compression ratio. So a "high-performance engine" has a higher compression ratio and requires higher-octane fuel. The advantage of a high compression ratio is that it gives your engine a higher horsepower rating for a given engine weight -- that is what makes the engine "high performance." The disadvantage is that the gasoline for your engine costs more."

yes but the whole point being, your 60* pushrod v6 with its blistering 120whp could easily get away with running something much less than 94 sunoco. but like i said, i dont mind, if everyone who doesnt need 94 stopped pumping it, sunoco would surely get rid of it due to a lack of demand

lol.. i agree 100%. Ive actually been thinking of selling my tank and then buying a lude and doing a big swap with nawz

Actually, it wont even run on gas, it'll run on two of the big ones :thumbsup:
