Since you know about these things. Should there be a noticeable difference in using higher RON fuel in a pretty standard 50cc moped?

If the weather would ever get nice I'd get my girl out and not cry so much about gas prices!

There is knowledge that you know, and there is knowledge that you know where to look to find.

Hey, wait a minute! I drive a Land Rover(at least part time)! It is a 1989 and I wouldn't say that it is a paragon of British fuel economy...

 

Wish we had Tdi 5s here.


    Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Uh... it's twenty years old?

No car from 1989 is going to be great on fuel economy, whatever country it was made in.

Especially not a Land Rover - which was designed to rove land, not to save fuel!

They should use that in their advertising. "Got land to rove? Buy a landrover!".

Not that I've ever heard of. You'd hear it if it needed it for some reason.

Fair enough. Using higher RON fuel always resulted in an extra 5 mph on the top speed!

I don't know about no car. I had a car from 1987, namely a Ford Escort, that was incredible good on fuel. 40MPG on a trip was not uncommon and at least 30 MPG local driving was the norm.

A large SUV is of course quite lousy on fuel, but fully loaded with family, luggage and a rack with 4 bikes is an impossible task for the Escort. Plus if there is a creek to be crossed, the Escort would have to float it.

Good for you. A 4-banger, no doubt?

Ah, I didn't know that. Not particularly a fast car (although it is quick for what it is), but all EU cars are made to run on 95 RON fuel. Anything lower than that and most cars would run pretty lumpy I would have thought, with them pre-detonating the fuel/air mix.

Indeed, but I wouldn't run 91 RON fuel.

Just to confuse the issue, diesel isn't usually graded by RON but by cetane instead.
