hey does anyone know what octane the factory calls for in a stock 98 EX? i read here in the specs that they run 9.6:1 or something like that, and i know that the VR6 jetta has to run 91 octane, cuz of high compression. my last car was like 6:1 so im not sure, should i run 91 octane for a daily basis? iv been usin the cheap alaska crap for so long, itz like 86 or something liek that??

which ever the lowest octane is at your gas station will suffice on stock intervals

unless you have a turbo or other major power boosters, 87 octane is all you need.

do you even know what RON means?!? do you know how the octane number on your pump is calculated?? let me give you a little lesson here. in the us, the PON (pump octane number) is the average of two values, the RON (research octane number) and MON (motor octane number). here in Chile (and most of the rest of the world, minus the US cuz they are too stubborn to adhere to a REAL standard... who the hell uses miles and yards and pounds any more?!) the octane advertised at the pump is the RON.

and u know what? i'm not dirtyd16, so f**k you. maybe you should move to a REAL country, and experience culture and vehicles that never make it to usdm-land. you're only closing yourself off by not even attempting to respect other nations, cultures, and their products. f**king xenophobe.

oh, i was forgetting... STFU N00B!!!

Well im with Anfrey. I use 95 RON most of the time but gonna try some 98.8 RON fuel thats available. See if it makes any noticable difference.

to me having a RON octane advertised makes much more sense to me. that way u know what you're getting, with PON it's just the average between the RON and the MON of the fuel. this can cause u to be running fuel with a lower MON than u actually think, since an average is just that. the average. says nothing about the extremes.

Wow. Did you miss that part about how it was a joke?? You need counciling, I think your daddy hit you when you were young. Just remember, Im not your uncle and I never made you touch me there...
You see, if you would pull your stupid f**king chillean head out of your stupid f**king chllean ass you might, and I mean just might since your face is probably still covered in your own s**t, realize that the comment about dirtyd16 was meant for... dirtyd16.

I have nothing against chileans, so dont post another flame about that. :roll:

Oh and Im not a xenophobe, Im very willing to bet Im more cultured and traveled than you are.

there was no part directed to ME stating it was a joke. so yes, i completely "missed" that. and what kind of reasoning makes you believe i need counseling (that's how it's spelt... wow, how cultured of you) or that i was sexually molested. i'm amazed at the kind of bullshit that's excreted by your imagination...

your comments are f**king racist. how is "You see, if you would pull your stupid f**king chillean head out of your stupid f**king chllean ass you might, and I mean just might since your face is probably still covered in your own s**t" having nothing against chileans.

oh and btw, if u were cultured, you'd know to respect your elders. f**king idiot noob. you should be banned...

and i highly doubt you're more travelled than me. the only continents i haven't been on are africa, australia (oceania), and antarctica.
