87 octane vs 93 octane

[1955moose]

I couldn't find buckeye county, except Arizona. What's ironic is your in an area that still uses [emoji470]/buggy. The Amish. Maybe deep down those 1850 mindset individuals want to rip ass down the road in their new Dodge Challenger hellcat! 100 octane is definitely better than hay for that kind of horsepower!

Sorry, I thought when I read Lancaster, you were in Pennsylvania, like our old departed friend Bedrck 47. Lancaster Ohio, different location, but still good to know, you can buy go fast juice there.

Dumb question from someone clueless: what happens if you put the 100 octane in an Expi?

Is it like putting premium in a Saturn (it’ll run just fine and you’re wasting your money) or is it bad for the engine?

I’m not planning on doing so (I don’t like ******* away money and I don’t have access to the stuff anyway) I’m just curious.

You missed the ( R ) in country! Buckeye country. As in The Ohio State Buckeyes!

I have used 100 octaneAVLL(aviation low lead), in my 79 KZ650 Kawasaki and 03 FXD HD. There are leaded and unleaded products. High octane is a bit harder to start, cold. In a normal vehicle will run fine on unleaded 100. I believe VP C3, contains lead. It produces a strong, chemical smelling exhaust, that racers love. In my motorcycles, they ran the same, until I hit the throttle. Under hard acceleration, there is a much better, smoother and powerful response. The engine does runs a bit hotter. 100 octane was first used during WWII. It gave piston aircraft engine an advantage. Most of the 100AV gas was refined in that era, from Texas crude.

As far as I know in a regular vehicle it may not even run! If it does run, it will be poorly. You have to have at least 12 to 1 compression to take advantage of the race fuel. Some say 110 Octane won't even ignite with a match but under high compression it's a whole nother story! Higher octane fuel produces less detonation.

I've tried changing over to higher octane in my recently purchases 2018 XLT and now my engine light is on.

its only the Platinum with the factory 400HP tune that requires 93. The regular 375HP tune on the XL, XLT, Limited should work fine on 87.

You need a full feature ODBC reader (I use ForScan Lite on my phone with a bluetooth ODBC dongle) this will read *ALL* the codes from all the modules. basic ODBC readers will just read smog related codes.

The Platinum does not “require” 93. This from the 2023 manual
