What is the performance advantage of using 91 octane over 87 ? Join or Log In to answer.
I'm not an expert in this arena but just read a post from some dude who said no difference except less in ur wallet.
-KungFuKitten (440Q / 3411A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:22pm


The car manufacturer recommends 92 octane for your car because of the compression and performance of your engine. Running a lower octane may work although engine performance will suffer and you may experience some pinging
-modcom (41Q / 7653A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:23pm

Is there any data on what the actual performance hit is? Maybe like a horsepower percentage?
-Herd (42Q / 215A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:25pm

certain cars run more efficiently w/ different octanes, so it's not really a standardized increase of performance.
-RiverRat (0Q / 64A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:29pm

Interesting. Thanks guys.
-Herd (42Q / 215A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:30pm

Yeah, I'm seeing a bunch of ppl online nerding out, but don't see a % or ratio, mostly just "u probably won't notice."
-BigUpsYooSelf (0Q / 386A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:32pm

I figured as much. Thanks.
-Herd (42Q / 215A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:36pm

Using a higher octane than is recommended for your engine will bring no benefit, although using a lower octane than recommended will reduce performance.
-fiera121 (335Q / 531A) Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:10pm


If your engine doesn't have high enough compression to take advantage of the higher octane, you're wasting your money. But... it will cause no harm, either.

Do european countries have a holiday equivalent to thanksgiving in the US? Join or Log In to answer.
No they don't, especially b/c T-day is basically a made-up holiday. Countries do have independence days though.

Japan has a Labor Thanksgiving Day 11/23 -modern name for ancient rice harvest festival known as Niiname-sai

Where did the word 'limelight' originate? Join or Log In to answer.
Limelight is a type of stage lighting once used in theatres and music halls. Although it has long since been replaced by electric lighting.
-RiverRat (0Q / 64A) Tue Nov 6, 2007 9:58pm


It is because a chemical compound known as lime was invented around 1825 and was a safer way to light the stage of the theater. The actor at center stage was said to be "in the lime light"
-optimusprime (3Q / 11A) Tue Nov 6, 2007 9:59pm

Thanx!
-Gingine (111Q / 163A) Tue Nov 6, 2007 10:01pm

"limelight" came from the heating of Calcium Oxide (aka "lime") to make a bright light.
-RiverRat (0Q / 64A) Tue Nov 6, 2007 10:00pm

Lots of H2O, Vitamin B to help flush system, sweating out some toxins, more clear liquids. That's a start...
-RiverRat (0Q / 64A) Sun Oct 28, 2007 1:39pm


Best cure is prevention. Drink water while you are drinking alcohol & take a vitamin B supplement before going to bed. Otherwis, re-hydrate!
