Generally, engines with compression ratios of 9.3 : 1 or less will safely operate with unleaded 87 octane fuel. Engines with higher compression ratios usually require higher octane fuels. Many owners who operate vehicles designed to operate on 87 octane fuel experience ping and knock.

What is the relationship between octane rating and compression ratio?
A higher octane rating allows an engine to use a compression ratio of, say, 12-to-one instead of a more usual ten-to-one. The greater the compression, the higher the temperature within the combustion chamber. And the higher the temperature, the greater the thermal efficiency and power produced.
What is the compression ratio for 95 octane?
95 Octane. Gasoline with this octane number is known in Indonesia under the brands Pertamax Plus (produced by Pertamina), Super Extra (produced by Shell), and Primax (produced by Petronas). This type of gasoline is advisable for car engines with compression ratios of 11:1 to 12:1.
What octane is needed for 9.5 1 compression?
The standard recommendation for street engines running on pump gas has always been to shoot for a 9.0:1 to perhaps 9.5:1 compression ratio. This is in order for the engine to safely work with pump gas, which for much of the country, is limited to 91-octane.
What octane do you use for 12 1 compression?
At 12:1 compression, # 93 octane may be adequate for a normally aspirated engine with electronic controls, variable valve timing and a 'knock' sensor. It will probably not be sufficient for a supercharged or turbocharged engine with this compression ratio.
What compression is best for 93 octane?
However, general guidelines would be that if you car has a high compression ratio, above 8.5:1 you should use 95, and if your car has a compression ratio below 8.5:1 you should use 93.
Does higher compression require higher octane?
Engines with higher compression ratios usually require higher octane fuels. Many owners who operate vehicles designed to operate on 87 octane fuel experience ping and knock. They usually "fix" this problem by purchasing the higher priced, higher octane fuels.
What octane do you use for 10 1 compression?
Most stock gas engines have a compression ratio around 10:1 and run just fine on regular 87-octane gas.
Is 10.5 compression ratio high?
Member. When you're dealing with a car engine, anything over 10.5 to 1 is usually referred to as high compression.
Should I use 98 octane fuel?
If the fuel flap tells you to use 98, that's what you need to do. It can't hurt your engine if you use a higher octane fuel. So, for example, if you use 95 or 98 in an engine designed for 91, that's OK. However, it's not acceptable to put in a lower octane fuel than the minimum recommended by the manufacturer.
What is the highest compression you can run on pump gas?
You can run 11:1 or even 12:1 compression on your pump-gas street motor, but you'll need this simple advie to make it happen. A four-stroke (or four-cycle) engine is so called because in the process of producing power, the piston passes up and down the bore four times.
How much octane is Shell V Power?
New Shell V-Power unleaded is a 99RON octane fuel. By comparison, regular Shell unleaded is 95RON. New Shell V-Power unleaded -the power of high octane.
How do I know what octane to use?
You'll find the minimum octane rating in the owner's manual, and cars that require premium fuel will usually say so on or near the gas cap, and sometimes even by the fuel gauge. If your car specifies premium fuel, use the good stuff.
What octane is premium gas?
Regular (the lowest octane fuel–generally 87) Midgrade (the middle range octane fuel–generally 89–90) Premium (the highest octane fuel–generally 91–94)
What is the compression ratio for 100 octane?
It has an octane rating (AKI) of 100 and can be used in engines with compression ratios up to 12 to 1 (with hardened valve seats).
What gas do you use for 13 1 compression?
In conventional V8 engines with iron heads the maximum compression ratio is about 13:1 for road course and circle track racing. Commonly called Sunoco 110 or Sunoco Purple (it's dyed purple), this fuel can be found at hundreds of locations across the country.
