> Funny thing about all this is that I always hear a lot of ricers say that “Yeah I only fill up with 91/94 octane and all they have is a stock NA engine”

So true!

I always laugh when I see FS ads, “Always filled up with 94 or 91 octane”

First of all, they’re lying, second of all, what does it matter with a stock pos mid 90’s na grocery getter? Its literally throwing money away.

Here’s a true story.

Diagnosing hard start problems and overall shitty running condition of a ninja 250. (A very very basic pedestrian shit box motor that should be powering a lawn mower) changed plugs, filters, air, oil, blah blah, cleaned pick up, petcock, anything fuel related. Asked her what gas shed been running. She tells me 94. I dump the tank, fill up 87. Voila! Turned a shitty running shitty engine with hard start and hesitation to a shitty engine that ran great!
