I was just wondering (Fuel Question)
Me being an East Coast person would somebody please explain the gas ratings in the Mid West. I'm refering to the regular (87 Octane) vs the Plus (89 Octane)It blows my mind pulling up to the pumps and...
Forum Discussion
The OP's first question is why is Plus grade cheaper than Regular in the Mid-West. Are there any Midwesters out there that know why? Curious minds want to know. Here in the Pacific NW, Plus costs more.
As to octane, more may not be better, but modern engines are pretty adaptable. I have an '08 Chrysler 300 with a V6 and the manual basically says that 87 octane is fine but it will have slightly better performance with 89. I'm a cheap bugger so it only drinks Regular.
