Fuel for Gassers
Anyone run Premium fuel or Octane Boost? Improved performance/mileage or waste of $$.
Forum Discussion
We pretty much use the cheapest unleaded fuel available at the pump wherever we happen to be, sometimes 85 octane at high elevations, mostly 86 is what we normally pump in our neck of the woods. We do occasionally add octane booster to a tankful, and it sure does have a positive influence on the miles to empty info from dash display, although from our experience it is wishful thinking on the ECUs part, just a minimal power boost noted.
We have plenty of power and we do traverse many inclines to get to where we are going, which is routinely at high elevations where gassers lose significant power. Now, if we had any performance issues we would get premium, thus far our 40' Monaco gasser is taking the hills using plain ole regular. For our sports cars we use premium as they just flat out perform better, our SUVs, full-size vans, and HD trucks all get regular unleaded.
