Almost $4 per gallon? Lmao your definitely in cali, yikes
👍🏻
Someone say Octane?
I learned nothing of value from this video
gas in cali 3x what it is in texas
This is hands down the best channel on youtube
My names jeremiah and I hate it when people call me jeremy
Battlefield Earth the movie is terrible. The book is awesome.
3.70 good god fuck livening in California
$3.70/GALLON FOR GAS 💀 bruh here its like $1.82/gallon
18 seconds in and I'm hella confused why california gas is $1.50 more per gallon than florida and then i remembered it's california
$3.70! For regular I can get race gas at pump for like $4 where I’m from
Is it 100 octane? If that's the case it's not quite race gas like the VP fuel featured in the video
Why America doesn’t have 100 octane fuel?
$400 for 10 gallons of mpro 6??? Damn!!!!!
Diesel engines have an octane rating of 25 to 40 and yet require engines with higher compression rations. This managed to confuse me more as someone that isn't a gearhead.
Will it works White 15:1 Compres ... ??
Mine is 98 RON recommended... which is 93
"$3.70 a gallon" *Laughs in Texan*
What does a laugh in 'texan' sound like? Yosemite Sam shooting his pistols in the air?
biggest mystery here is why you guys call a liquid gas
people that put 87 on their 91 engine is the worse kind of person.
Your talking a lot of crap in this vid! Amazing
Oof who pays $3.70 for a gallon of gas?
Its because 37.00 is for RACE FUEL
Me a malaysian who run ron97 or even ron95: pathetic.......
Higher octane when unnecessary lowers mpg
Have you ever seen a video like this and thought who the hell disliked this
God damn 3.70 a gallon. Its 1.89 here in South Carolina
Is there any comparison for the gas treatment difference and also oil flush worth video??
This guy is the chemistry teacher I am looking for 😂
I remember putting 93 octane in my old car and it threw the "Check Engine" light a few miles later. Had it cleared and never did that again. I now stick to whatever the manufacturer recommends. Anyone else have a similar experience?
I use premium in 02 Ducati. Cause why not. It’s a small tank so not spending a bundle and my duc deserves good go go juice
Wait... Yall americans have 93?? Bruh here in my country we rock 98 no joke😎
I like that they are kinda doing a new science garage but I miss science garage.
3.70? That’s still expensive to me.
Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that all the hosts kinda mimic James?
Wtf happened to bart
Meanwhile in Germany 95 is the lowest Octane you can even get at a gas station, with people routinely pouring 98 into their sports cars or tuned cars (most modern sports cars like Porsche, Audi S / RS cars, etc) even give you the requirement of using 98 Octane because the engine is optimized for it (it says to use "Super +" right on the Lid of your fuel deposit - which is equivalent to 98 Octane at least). People who care for their cares, and specially tuners, often use 100 Octane (like Shell V-Power Racing 100) or even 102 Octane gas (like Aral Ultimate 102) on their cars, because the ECU can be tuned and optimized for it. Edit: And before I get killed by people - Yes, I am aware US calculates Octane in a different way, still your Premium high octane gas (which would convert to 93 Octane according to how EU calculates) is lower than Europes BASE gas (95). Basically the lowest stuff you can get in EU is better than the best you can get in the states - obviously talking street legal out of a gas station. Specially modern and sportscar engines are able to make advantage of this and output higher power thanks for a better fuel. E.g. Porsche, Audi RS, etc all are optimized from the factory to be ran AT LEAst at 98 Octane, and make use of 100/102 octane.
wont the knock sensor allow for more timing with more octane ? thus more peak power ?
When he said hey Jeremy I freaked out yo!! I wasn’t focused on the video but lol I am now!! 😂😂🤣
My gas costs 2.03 a gallon..cuz im not in California! LOL
Is it bad I run 87 in my 240sx with a ka
This is a great video I learned something from it
Good thing they still sell 85 octane in CO.
please explain why different countries use different octane ratings. |I'm from australia, and here the only fuel we have is 91 octane, 95 octane, 98 Octane, E10 and E85. why does the US have 85, 87 and 91????
sorry, raycons are RUBBISH.
^cries in kiwi^ its almost 2$ a litre here, 91 is the minimum 98 is the highest ive seen (e85 is here but havent personally come across it)
That is honestly good to know, thanks for the info my dude 🙌
Your 91 is probably like Americans 87 countries all use a different scale of measurement
well if you get your car tuned for the race fuel i guarantee youll make more power
I expected that you will mention europe’s engines and of course 95, 98 and 100 octane benzin. Bcs you can’t usually get 87 octane like in US. :D
if you want 105 octane at home blend 70% iso-octane and 30% toluene.............
0.o Looks at upload date, this isn't 2008
Lol who picked the intro music sounds like Im watching someone play Madden
What gas stations have the best gas?
Jeremiah looks like the son of Daniel Tosh from Tosh.O on Comedy Central. Lol love the channel, guys!
BRUUUH HE LOOKS TOTALLY LIKE HIM. Never made that connection
cheap vs expensive fuel from my experience is the price and the expensive one burns faster than the cheap one.I mean i need to go more often to the gas station if i use premium fuel.Thats been the case:Cheap gas for the win!
Y'all pay $3.70/gallon 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So let's say I took the 119 Octane Gas that you put in your camaro and I used it in a turbo 11:5:1 compression car, would it help with detonation even tho the engine is rated for 91 octane?
www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-rx-7-33/joe-maddox-super-rare-1-100-1989-fc3s-gtus-rx7-2jz-gte-vvti-build-43602/ I have found and saved the rarest Mazda FC RX7 ever made! Now this car is rare. Really rare! Let me break this down really quick... Ever heard of the rare 100 GTUs rx7s? Only 40 have ever been claimed and only 12 are confirmed at the time of this posting! Here are the rarest rx7 FC3S models: 1500 10AE Turbo models 1400 infini 1000 winning limited 150 final edition convertible 100 GTUs... out of that 100: 83 red on black 10 black on black 7 white on blue There was only 100 GTUs models created between 1989 and 1991. If you own one of these rare models sign your car up to the registry list here on any of the rotary forums! There are rumors about a restamped GTUs model... The entire origins GTUs owners thread on the rx7club was modified, icemarks claims deleted, registry list changed to have a confirmed section and the mods agree there are not enough GTUs models to have the restamped. If you want the full story behind the restamped models: www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-rx-7-33/restamped-mazda-rx7-45926/ www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-non-technical-pictures-198/restamped-mazda-rx7-1148475/ If you have a real GTUs you can register it here: www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-rx-7-33/official-mazda-rx7-gtus-owners-club-thread-44477/ www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/mazda-rx7-gtus-1148362/
Yeahh there adds are actually funny, good stuff
WHERE THE HELL IS GAS 3 DOLLARS A GALLON
85?
3.70$ a gallon? It’s 1.78 a gallon here
Do one on what goes into calculating towing capacity!!! Currently trying to figure out exactly what torque and gearing I would need to tow 3000 lbs on a 15% grade. I think I know but I'm a double E... owo
What’s up with the number 1 hot shot at Perris?
What octane rating would nitrous oxide and ether have 🤔
$3.70 per gallon for gas? Fuck I don't even pay that for diesel. $1.90 is avg where I live. Here in America
i use 110 octane avgas B)
Eu: nothing under 95octane
Battlefield earth is indeed a classic. A classic piece of shit. 😅😅😅
Not even supermarkets fuel stoops down to 93 in the UK.
This ad was cringe.
I'm pretty sure it's isooctane with two o's.
Edit: I've run 93 in all my cars, including a 19 Silverado and 18 Trax. Ran it in my 2011 Focus and took it to 219k miles before the body rusted apart. Engine still ran like new. Back when I ran a catless car a decade ago, I ran avgas, or aviation grade fuel. That is not remotely the same thing as jet fuel. Don't run jet fuel in your car unless you like to go boom. Avgas is pricey, but cheaper than dedicated race fuel. I wouldn't run it in a high end sports car or anything with catalytic converters as it is the last remaining leaded fuel, but on something tuned for it with proper jetting and no cats, its fine. It does very well at higher altitudes given its antiicing properties. Anyway, when tuned for avgas, my car put down 17whp and 8lbft more than when tuned for 93. I imagine 110 race gas could squeeze out a few more hp, but avgas is roughly $5/gallon and is equivalent to 100 octane with a higher rich mixture rating than 93 pump gas and is a fraction of the cost of 110. For my limited budget at the time, it made sense for the occasional track day. But ymmv.
You are crushing it young man! 🤙 from Portland Oregon.
I dont know dude, all of them taste the same for me
I love the smell of race fuel in the morning. Smells like victory. 😁😁😁
In Finland we have 95e and 98e meaning 95 has 10% ethanol and 98 has 5% ethanol
Petrol exactly the same. Regulation. Diesel, only the 50 or 10ppm are more expensive.
Lmao, I pay 2.12 for my gas
By far the best ads on youtube.
I wonder if he actually has an in depth understanding of chemistry or if this is all just good research.
Damn the gas we have is 95 and 98. I always go to shell for Vpower98
I love your ads. But I guess running 2 tanks of v-power and then plus in my engine probably cleaned it pretty good?
Worth mentioning that there are different measures of octane rating. Main ones are Research Octane Number (RON) and Motor Octane Number (MON), and as a rule of thumb the MON figure for a fuel is 10 points lower than the RON figure. Most of the world uses the RON rating. The USA uses the Pump Octane Number (PON), which is the average of the RON and MON figures. So by the above rule of thumb the PON figure will be 5 points lower than the RON rating. So USA 91 octane fuel is about the same as a fuel labelled 96 octane through most of the world.
In europe, slovenia at least we have min 95 octane with 100 being high octane
Probably RON, so equivalent to around 91 to 93.
He said VP didn't sponsor the video but they gave them gas.... Isn't that the definition of a sponsor?
$3.70/gal? Wtf? Are you running low to mid grade racing fuel?
When you are a politician and you see so many people upset in the street, insted of making a desicion the reflect the will of the population, you try fihmght them all with water canon. That is one man idea force up on hundreds of thousands
$3.70!!! That's a rip-off man
Most race fuel is leaded. If you have O2 sensors, expect them to be destroyed.
Alkylation process is also pretty dangerous using copious amounts of HF acid in the refinery unit. Smells like salt and vinegar chips which means Im hungry at work most of the time.
I use the shell v power for better performance
Can you break down e85 I own a 2018 Silverado 2500hd its a 6L gasser e85 compatible I run it when I tow my trailer because I feel like it runs better and has more power I know its used in racing and high performance cars but does it really do anything for those of us in my situation or similar
In Germany the Octane numbers you can get is 90, 95, 98, and 102. 102 Octane is insanely expensive up to 1.90€ per L. The cheapest one cost 1.10€ L. {Current prices}. 1L=0,264 Gallon
Lmao bout $2.30 for premium phx
What the heck. Last time I saw gas below 92 was ten years ago. Where I live we have 95, 98 and 100. Why is that difference?
Here in europe we only have 95 and 98 and sometimes 100 octane
Bumper2Bumper goes Chemistry..
Racing should be banned because it's wasteful and environmentally damaging.
Ethanol is a octane booster
Low octane fuel used in a high compression engine will detonate before the firing of the spark plug which can damage the engine. Detonation is bad. You are explaining it incorrectly. I'm not sure what you are trying to explain but you're wasting people's time.
