Arco gas? (2025 Update)

Its bullshit. CVCC engines haven't been on the market for nearly 30 years, and today's Honda engines are NO different than anyone else's when it comes to fuel requirement. They're just engines. Sorry to break any Hondophile's illusions, but that's reality.

2x more than something that's quantified is quantified.

Then you're an ignornamus. WTF are you thinking?

Why are they irrelevant?

if i meant cvcc, i'd have said cvcc.

er, the post cvcc engines ran higher compression and got much higher power yields from regular gas that anything detroit had at the time. detroit has to some degree caught up since then, but it's taken them decades. your homework is to compare specific power outputs for 80's hondas and 80's detroit.

and as long as you don't do your homework, you'll still not know what you're talking about.

we're wasting our time - he's not interested in facts, just expressing underinformed opinion.

Gas from different stations IS different.

Shell and Chrysler had a problem where the Shell additives were dissolving the Chrysler fuel pumps!

doing a little more homework myself, it seems there's /considerable/ composition differences in gasoline. compare and contrast:

another thing that interests me is that benzene, in other environments is considered highly hazardous. yet when it's in gasoline, it's suddenly not. how very strange!

I bunch of years ago, I was on vacation in Daytona,Florida.I stopped at a Chevron (or maybe, it was Exxon?) gas station.The guy who works at the gas station couldn't break a $100.00 bill of mine.(I didn't have smaller cash at the time) He told me to go to a store and get change for one of my $100.00 bills.Of course, I did that and I drove back to the gas station and I paid for my gas. cuhulin

If I can quantify a lower value below which I will not go, then quantification occurs.

Regardless of what YOU think.

Then your engineering professors taught you a different definition of "quantitative" and "qualitative" measurements than mine taught me. A qualitative measurement can tell you "better" or "worse," but only a quantitative measurement definitively says "how much better" or "how much worse."

I want an Air Car.I have an old magazaine article around here somewhere about a guy in Italy who built his own Air Car.fed govt needs to be struck out! BIG TIME! The only good politician is a DEAD politician! cuhulin

Even the gasoline from Gas Wars and Pump -n- Munch?

"At least 2x" gives me a number I can count on.

A quantitative number.

"There is at least one ounce of water in this cup I'm holding".

I can *count* on the one ounce figure.

Quantitatively.

So what does this say about Mobil?

Remember what happened to Nikasil engines?

i suspect that's a bmw problem, not a sulfur/nikasil problem.

No you can't. There could be 5 oz, 10 oz, or 1.1 oz, or it could be exactly

1 oz.

Now, further, if I made 2 claims, they could refer to the identical cup. For instance, assume that your cup has EXACTLY 1 oz in it. Now, I am going to say that the next cup has at least twice the amount of your cup. I am also going to say that cup 3 has at least 5x the amount of your cup.

Both of my cups have exactly 6 oz in them.

How did either of the previous measures help you get to the truth?

I suspect you're right.... it seems only their particular implementation basically plating the nickel on instead of alloiying) of nickel/silicon liners had problems.
