I boil my chilli for an hour with one beer and if u boil the chilli with urine in it u would boil off some water but leave the !flavor! (Toxins in this case.) Hate to bust ur bubble but by burn off I mean evaporate. And anything at least simmering will cook off the alcohol eventually. Evan an hour should evaporate most of it I would think. Ur pdf kind of proves my point I believe!
I don't think you read it. There's a lot there. You wrote, "Evan an hour should evaporate most of it I would think." You're sticking with your prior beliefs, clearly. As if I had not posted anything at all. And that's what we alcohol-avoiders are up against, friend. I can provide studies and it matters not. But at least you acknowledge that alcohol does not "burn off" and that it does not evaporate completely. Most people don't talk like they know that.
Donno why I get noticably better MPG. Other than differences in model year and I have a pedal monster to tone down throttle response, driving above 70 can lower MPG. Bad aerodynamics eats MPG above 65MPH and very noticable above 70MPH.
Nope. It's because comparing fuel efficiency between random drivers on the internet is absolutely useless. You drive different roads differently than I do. This is why I always jump in to these threads when someone tries to tell EVERYONE that they will get certain results by doing the same thing they did. The fact that it works for you means nothing for anyone else.
I would say comparing fuel efficiency even with the same driver is absolutely useless. You are not driving under the same conditions each time you drive. One drive you might get stopped by more lights, another time you might have less wind. Another time could be more traffic that you deal with. Etc... I drive pretty much the same distance every day that I work, but it can vary my MPG on the same route and distance. I have ran all of my cars, trucks, and motorcycles, except for my first car, on premium gas (except my one diesel truck) and drive pretty conservatively and my mileage can swing a lot. Like on my 2019 2.0 that I had that could range anywhere from 21.5 to 25.5. I even had it drop to 16 MPG on one trip because of driving in to 60 MPH winds. My current 392 can range from 15 to 17 MPG. A friend of mine used to work at a testing lab and he tested different grades of gas under the same conditions and the higher grade gas got better fuel mileage. That's why I use the higher grade fuel. But everyone can use what they want. Otherwise, wouldn't be a need for multiple grades.
Completely agree. There are so many factors that have a significant influence. Especially so with a Jeep.
This is an argument that has been raging across the automotive internet forums for as long as they've existed. Obviously the computer will need to retard timing less for higher octane fuel. But the real question should be - what do we get out of that? If we don't get more power or more efficiency then what does it matter? It's not going to break anything because it's working exactly as it was designed, and the people who built it thoroughly tested it on 87 octane fuel and approved it. So if knowing your computer is advancing timing a bit more is enough for you to spend the extra money on premium fuel then good for you I guess...but for me and I think the majority of people here, we need need to see tangible results to justify the cost.
The real variable here is the infinite ranges of actual octane ratings from the hundreds of thousands of gas pumps and the also infinite atmospheric pressures that vary based on elevation differences and also changes that happen throughout a drive. Not to mention the infinitely variable compression ratios that will exist on the hundreds of thousands of engines built to good but not perfect standards. Also these engines wearing out slowly one RPM at a time. Also the infinitely variable road conditions, ambient conditions, tire diameters and driving styles.
