Can my 2.2 run on midgrade fuel?

 

yes.

 

will it reduce power?

 

nope, i thought i noticed a slight increase in power, but everyone else said it was in my head lol

 

You can, it wont hurt, but it won't gain you anything either. The car is tuned for 87, so run 87...


If you really want to waste the $ just paypal me the extra $2/fillup

 

it is cheaper here

 

...89 is cheaper then 87?

 

yes i am like why it makes no sense

 

**** off premuim is about 1.50$ a litre where i live right now

 

will it run with premium?
or would we need a special tune for that?

 

yes u can run premium, lol.

 

...please read the rest of the thread, that question has been answered atleast twice

 

they wouldnt sell somthing at the pump that could destroy your car. for going up grades, going down is even fine if you drive like granny goose

 

What in Gods name is a litre??!?!!?

 

lol

 

Yeah, it is here in Iowa too, i hate the ethanol blend though, i seem to average 3-5mpg less on 89 than i do 87, so i use 87. its only 13 cents more and the balt seems to like it more anyways.

 

itll blow up

 

Don't use midgrade on your 2.211!!!11 what are you crazy? DOod thats like apraying a 400 soht of NOS. You floorboard will fall off!!!

 

Funny, I see no difference with ethanol blends. 10% of ethanol will not reduce your MPG. You may just need driver mod. Or maintenance mod.

There are countless threads on this topic, take a look around.

It will not harm your 2.2.

Just don't purchase Shell gas, or any middle eastern oil for the matter.

 

dude dont! itll make it run like a vette! why would u want that?? itll go so fast itll float!!!!!

10-sec 1/4 duuuude

 

yeah, unless you get a tune from someone, just run it on 87. I'm running on 93, cause i have to, in order to achieve full power with the current tune i have from trifecta. I dont mind at all spending a few more dollars to achieve more power.

 

Whats the scoop on Shell gas? I heard it was really good for your engine.

 

It's that "top-tier" stuff that has extra cleaning additives, and from what I've heard, it is good gas.

I think pdub doesn't like it because Shell buys it from middle eastern countries...much better to support Hugo Chavez...

 

This is a pointless comment... you should factor in more than just performance. It is way cheaper here so I want to pinch some pennies.

 

You're such a smart ass!

You check out my new exhaust?
