While the green - themed new Ecomotive with its road tax - busting CO2 rating of just 99g / km is all about economy and environmental responsibility the 265 PS Cupra R is, undeniably, aimed at ultra-hot hatch enthusiasts
with high octane fuel coursing through their veins.
Bruce Fife says in his book The Coconut Oil Miracle, «Eating foods containing MCFAs is like putting
high octane fuel into your car.
A lot of performance Japanese cars are tuned for
higher octane fuels from the factory, and will often pink badly on anything less than 97.

Many health experts believe soy burgers, soy hot dogs, TVP chili and other modern soy products
provide high octane fuel.
Ketosis is your body's inner mechanism for turning your own stored body fat THOSE EXTRA FLABS OF FAT you're carrying around your waistline into
clean high octane fuel which you can use to produce energy 24/7.
Just some interesting info
on high octane fuels the original method of refining fuel had an added amount of lead.
Since the results I saw were immediately after
adding higher octane fuel and the induction service, I don't believe this was the solution this time.
Since higher octane fuels have higher activation energy requirements, it is less likely that a given compression will cause uncontrolled ignition, otherwise known as autoignition or detonation.
[71] Cars with turbocharged engines and high compression ratios often specify premium gas
because higher octane fuels reduce the incidence of «knock», or fuel pre-detonation.
(That figure is slightly lower than the the car is rated for elsewhere, thanks largely to
higher octane fuel in the rest of the world.)
To use a car example, that's like using
a higher octane fuel in an older Mazda Miata and then complaining about how slow it is compared to a new Miata.
«Ethanol is
a higher octane fuel,» Emily says, «burns cleaner and cooler... that's better for the environment.

It is
our high octane fuel.
Together, they are
the highest octane fuel we have, but it doesn't last long.
Fuels of different octane ratings may have similar densities, but because switching to
a higher octane fuel does not add more hydrocarbon content or oxygen, the engine can not develop more power.
Cars (especially forced induction) can be tuned to utilize the lower probability of detonation inherent in
high octane fuels to advance timing or increase boost in order to create much higher power outputs.
High octane fuel is more resistant to detonation, which means you wouldn't need to adjust timing to safely run it.
If you put this fuel in a «normal» engine, it may even have detrimental effects, since the engine will have a harder time combusting
the higher octane fuel.
The «Stang's engine was almost immediately treated to a remap at Litchfield to help it run better on the UK's
higher octane fuel.
My view is: Try lower octane gas, if you notice either knocking or decreased performance then you should stick with
the higher octane fuel.
However, all other variables being held constant, using
a high octane fuel allows you to design a higher compression engine to take advantage of that octane number.
Try lower octane gas, if you notice either knocking or decreased performance then you should stick with
the higher octane fuel.
Higher octane fuels (well over 100 RON) are perfectly possible by adding Ethanol or other alcohol bases.
The higher octane fuel and compression ratio the more max timing you can set and and slightly leaner the fuel mixture you jet for.
A higher octane fuel can allow this.
I figure the ignition system, which would be getting the octane data from the octane sensor, would advance the timing appropriately to accommodate
the higher octane fuel.
I would start with
the higher octane fuel, some driving at higher RPMs at lower speeds and see if you can breath a little more life out of your Catalyst.
You could try using
higher octane fuel and some spirited driving for a bit and see if that helps it.
The car runs on 100 octane fuel to avoid knocking and premature combustion issues as
the high octane fuel requires higher heat / compression rate for the combustion and best used with the powerful turbocharged engines.
And, it just doesn't cost that much more to use
a higher octane fuel per tankful.
