40. Which is the best (brand) of gasoline?
The S2000 requires gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. 89 octane may be used at the cost of engine performance for short periods but this should be considered a temporary measure only. Octane ratings higher than 91 will not offer any benefit to a stock engine/ECU. The required octane level is determined by the ECU programming. When using gasoline with a rating lower than 91 the ECU will retard timing to prevent detonation. A rating higher than 91 will only cost more. The ECU will not advance timing to get an additional performance benefit from octane richer gas. Gasoline is a mixture of 2 hydrocarbons (octane and heptane). The proportion of octane to heptane is indicated the the octane rating. It is not a percentage. An octane molecule contains 8 carbon atoms, heptane contains 7 carbon atoms. All gas with the exception of Chevron is pumped from a refinery to a transfer station via a national petroleum pipeline system. Gas is fed into the system at one end and removed at the other. Shell's refinery in Corpus Christy, TX pumps 10000 gallons in and they take 10000 gallons out on Akron, Ohio. It's NOT THE SAME GAS! What they pump out may have been put in there by a different oil company. It's like a gas bank. You deposit $1000 and later withdraw $1000. You don't get the same bills you put in. The pipeline system was established when Standard Oil was broken up and ensures there is a supply of gas wherever it is needed in the country. At the transfer station each company adds their own additive mix (octane boosters, detergents, oxigenators) to meet local pollution standards and regulations. The Shell you buy in Los Angeles is not the same product as you would buy in Detroit. All gas is basically the same. It comes out of the same hole (pipe) and has most of the same additives within the same locality. Chevron is the exception as they use their own system for distribution. That doesn't make it any better. --------------------
