Have you seen the restorations on the 3/4 dodges? Modded with the charger engines. What a king of a truck man.
I'm not gonna lie, getting my Ranger felt good. I didn't feel like I was dragging my feet to buy something. Still keeping the memories, but it wasn't like having to sell the dream cars...
Man, was reminiscing about some old times. I used to own a GTR and a sunny ute.
Having the GTR was a blast. Met my wife when I had it. She'd never admit it, but I'm sure rollin' up in it had something to do with the marriage. I sold it for a huge chunk of change. It furnished our entire life...
Not completely accurate. My GTR would knock going up to Niigata, but not coming down, and would knock going up to Hakkoda, but not coming down. My ECU would auto-cal once I hit certain IAT, to automatically reduce timing. Back then I was dumb and would use 95 RON. I eventually changed to 105 RON...
There is a major difference between design and nominal.
as quoted from the manufacturers manual: “ for best overall vehicle performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained using premium fuel is most noticeable in HOT WEATHER as well as...
Little bit of bro-science, mixed with AI and JDM guess-formation. Could be interesting.
- Ethanol-free does provide a better MPG
- 87 octane is equivalent 89 octane @ 4500 ft.
- Non-ethanol octane booster (consider $0, increases octane by 3-4 points)
Comes out to $4.00 for 92-93 octane range...
See that's the math I've been tracking. I've done a 1k mile test. Seems that 91 provides an MPG increase that can't be ignored.
Difficult line to draw. Ethanol free with booster, no booster, or straight 91 and pay the price....
I'm petty about fuel and oil. I like to min/max everything for no reason.
Gas prices are very high right now. I'm seeing $4.89 for 91 octane. Pretty horrendous. So I decided to swap over to ethanol-free 87 octane.
With that ethanol-free 87 octane, I think it would be dumb for me to mix it...
Seems we need to standby for LRA or another company to provide the larger tanks.
It would be nice to know why Ford wouldn't have an extended fuel tank option. Australia and the United States are about the same size. Both our countries have a huge off-road and long range enthusiast cohort.
