Am I a cheapskate for running E85?

 

[golfdave]

Interesting. Would you happen to know how I can retrofit a different sticker?

Interesting.. so now I have 2 conflicting comments with sources.

One person said that the sticker means 87 octane, now yours says 91… hmmmmmm….

You totally misunderstand....your existing sticker in the photo states the same grade of fuel but in two different "languages" or measurement standards......


Its like your speedo stating the speed being 60MPH & also 96Kilometres per hour.....same speed, just two different measurements!


Did you bother looking at the link:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating

It has a table lower down which gives you all the three different "measurements or languages" for most fuels around the world

Better not confuse these people with things like "how many pounds are in a ton/tonne?".... ..& then convert it to Kilograms!!!..............

I'm a scientist...geologist....metric is normal for me but...remember....there are two types of people in this world...those who walked on the moon and those that use the metric system

I worked for an Aussie mining company and reported here in the U.S. in tons but of course they wanted tonnes (ton-ees as I called them)...so many conversions and mistakes from it...using meters to report exploration drilling numbers on U.S. rigs with drill steel in imperial. PITA!

So you working in U.S.A. used the U.S. ton (907kg or 2,000lb), & they wanted the metric "tonne" i.e. 1,000kg or 2,204lb.


I'm surprised they didn't want the U.K. ton (1,016kg or 2,240lb) actually a "long" ton to the U.S. "short" ton...

I prefer “shit ton”

@golfdave Man you are unbelievable! Greetings from Greece! Hahahahaha

If you guys are settled on the initial question... Have I been wasting money on R99 for my TDI?

If you guys are not settled on the initial question, hurry it up... but in the meantime ignore my question .

I did that earlier today.......mind you the words are the opposite way around in my case, include the word "of"......& a U.K. "long" ton most definitely!!! ....

Hey buddy, I’m gonna have to ask you to absolutely slow this down for me and outline in crayon.

Does the sticker tell me to use 87 or 91?
