Community College. I’ve come to realize the program I am in is poorly funded and planned out which making learning more difficult than it needs to be. I end up spending a lot of time on google and wikipedia because my book is poorly researched and written. It seems like the author assumes you already know quite a bit about the subject when the reality is I’m still a novice.
Honestly I feel like this forum could benefit from a general discussion forum that allows non automotive related discussion, they could call it “the chill lounge”. B)

How hard and expensive is it to care for a skunk? I’ve wanted one for years but the cost of food and my limited knowledge on caring for wild animals keeps scaring me off.

The first tank was cheap gas (91 octane) from a grocery store chain called Martin’s. The second tank was Shell V Power 93.

This is what we use at my Community College:
It has some poorly written areas in different automotive systems that leave you scratching your head and saying “Wtf did I just read”. But other than that it’s setup to give you the information to pass your ASE’s even if you don’t have any hands on experience.

Higher octane gasoline is less resistant to being ignited by the high temperatures caused by the compression process in the combustion chamber. Most high compression engines require 91+ octane gasoline but some high compression engines can adapt to the lower octane by communicating with the knock sensors/O2 sensors and will retard engine timing to eliminate the premature detonation.
As an experiment I decided to put 91 octane in my vehicle as opposed to 87 to see if it would give any more power or mileage. I got about an extra 20 miles out of the tank but the 91 I used contains no ethanol. I then put 93 in and I’m getting worse mileage than 87. The engine does seem to have a little more pep at higher rpm’s for some reason.
