With boost, its suggested to run no less than 91 I run 91 in my RB but if a Sunoco is close i’ll throw 94 in. Unfortunatly I live NO WHERE close to a sunoco, so they’re pretty rare for me lol. ---

Any pros and cons for running premium on a stock KA with nothing but an intake and exhaust? ---

Shouldn’t be any cons. When i was still NA and I was around a sunoco, I’d through in some 94 and it ran as if the motor was brand new. You can definatly notice a difference in consumption and the way the motor runs with cleaner and higher octane gas. Clearly a good reason it costs more…unfortunatly I guess lol ---

if you have pre detonation(which some of these older 240s might have), higher octane should sort of help fix that ---

actually ive tried and tested this theory of mine, and was actually turned on to it by another SON member… Shell V-Power 91 \> Sunoco 94 yes its true… a differance of about 75-100kms/tank of course every car differs but i tried it in both my 240s, my dads mazda, and even my moms minivan, also converted a friend of mine and his supra turbo. try it! you’ll be a believer! PLUS! Shell takes Airmile! 😃 ---

Shell takes Airmile! 😃 true dat! Man I love shell’s 91. It’s all ill put in unless im forced to go somewhere else. It really does give me about 50-100km more/tank. I’ve also tested this with 91 at a Pioneer. Mind you Shell always is 1c/L more than the Pioneer here in Caledonia, but heck who cares! V-Power all the way ---

I’ve always used 91 on my ka engine. I am now ka-t and I still use 91. Engine likes it but my wallet doesn’t…🙂
