ya there is a reason why they have it in the manual to use 86 even tho its 87. Its not as common in our cars. But if you are suppose to use 87 and u use 93 all the time it will burn out your injectors (like POS chrylsers/dodge and well mostly all american made cars).
But of course with turbo cars u use higher octane but then u usally have better injectors that can handle it. There are other reasons but this is one of the biggest reasons of why u dont use high octane gas with cars that arent meant to be use it.
Im not exactly sure but man i have a dumb ass father in law that thought the same as most the people on here and thought cause it was 93 it has to be good for his car. And he burnt out 4 sets of injectors within like 6 months of owning his POS PT cruiser. Dealer didnt realize what was going on until the last time he was having problems i asked what kind of gas he was using and he brought that up to the dealer and they told him that was why they also made him pay for the 4th set. Ever since he has used 87 and hasnt had a problem.
It was something my dad always told me to. It just something that kinda stuck and well ive heard it quiet a few times from different people it happen to.
i said im not sure...but im gonna go search about it. Ive had several people tell me this. and like i said the chrylser dealer also told my father in law the same thing couple months ago. Im just repeating what i heard....if i find something ill post it up.
cool. i aint attackin ya just wondering because ive never heard of it and its definately something to know. (even tho im too cheap to get the premium anyways cus it really doenst have positive effects i would notice)
I think it mainly depends on the type of injectors in the cars that why i said its not to common in our cars. But more in american cars like chrylsers. And my dad told me this years ago and he worked as a mechanic for dodge for 10 years then became a engineer. But ill look tomorrow its 1 in the morning and my kids will be up in like 5 hours. so ill see if i find any info about this tomorrow.
