Very true. Unless you travel between different climate zones as defined by whoever defines them where you are, probably wouldn’t matter. The calculations effect the stations more then anyone, one season the go through more gross fuel then the other and depending on economy of said season...

Temperature does matter for a few reasons and based on where you are. Most pumps are compensated to a standard temperature regardless of season (15 degrees C where I am). Vapour pressure is also different depending on temp. Usually won’t make a massive difference but it could. March and October...
Hey Paul, my Ranger has about 11700km on (In Onterrible), and I have noticed it like 7th as well, and some times it’s laggy on down shifting if I have stomped on it (which isn’t often) have you noticed if it does the same thing in S mode? Where in Canada you at?
Yeah you can see some differences by vehicle. My last vehicle I noticed it had more get up and go but rev’d a lot higher before shifting and had bad mileage, that was a Toyoda 1.3L in it. I don’t really notice huge differences that give me the smiles based on the cost difference. I have noticed...
That’s my crusade it seems. 89 is probably the best bang for your buck on day to day. The gas buddy website did some polls/bro science study’s and found for most engines 89 was the best for mileage vs. Cost. I have run 91 and 93/94 in my truck a few times when doing long highway drives and...
That’s I guess my main point, if you’re doing something and need the gains, that’s the best time to use it. If you’re daily driving, don’t bother. Just some people act like the 91/93/94 is magic potion. When the do these tests it’s all dyno going balls out, no one really drives like that. I do...
You aren’t wrong. If your vehicle has the ability to adjust its workings to the knock, sure it will, but there is always this. Those gains are only useful if you’re using them, ie towing, drag racing, heavy load etc... day to day driving you will see zero gain because you aren’t really using the...
I do gas for a living.... higher octane fuels such as premium have more to them then just the octane. RON#, additive levels, lower vapour point, etc.... all depends on engine/tune, compression ratios, etc etc etc. Some people can run premium in an engine that still requires it and based on...
It’s simple math. Tanker truck 48-58m3 of product depending on a few factors. Rail car around 117m3.... on car/truck. Pipelines can move hundreds of cubic metres per hour. Simple math. Most dangerous thing for any industry by risk factor is transport. Pipelines can leak, explode, run out of...
Try being a paying customer... my financing is costing me $64k (Canadian pesos) for the fully loaded lariat fx4... at least you got something. I got $300 more then blue book for my trade, like pissing in the ocean
If they weren’t “environmentalists” they would be charged, but because Eco-Terrorists are now what we call concerned citizens ... I see stuff similar every day in my job. People fight something and the other solution is worse but it’s ok because their cause is only the one thing (cough cough...
Road tripped last night and got 9.1 L/100km on Shell Silver (89). Have Mishimoto air intake, and the velossatech intake scoop. Also drove with traction control off. Avg speed 115km/hr
If the fob is dead I know you can take the cup holder liner our and place the fob on the symbol in there to start (wireless detector thingy), other then that I don’t know much about the keyless, just that you can’t actually drive using Ford pass because it only allows the engine to start
