95 or + Octane gas in Ottawa
I'm currently running MHD Stage 2 on 93 Octane. I put 94 from petro canada in the car because that is what I'm able to find.
Is there anywhere with 95 Octane? I would really like to run on the highest stage 2 tune. Preferably top tier gas to Last edited by TheMidnightNarwhal; 11-21-2018 at 10:28 AM.. |

How is your corrections with 94 ?
I heard that Canadian 94 is not a true 94 octane. More like ACN 94. I would be very careful running 93 octane map with Canadian gas. IF you had ethanol thats another story but without that 93 map on 94 Canadian seems like a stretch. What we need is E30. That would solve all issues. |

I looked at past MHD logs I had and they are all 0 on 6 cylinders so I'm happy to see that. Now that you mention tho it might cause issues because if poor 94 gas, I probably be logging and checking time to time. When corrections occurs that means the gas is like combusting to early right and it's kind of knocking or the car is adapting to prevent that? |

What gas did you have when you took that ? Knock is an uncontrolled combustion condition. Fuel ignites before it should in the cylinder. The Engine computer will delay the spark after it detects this uncontrolled combustion from a microphone (knock sensor) |

Gas in there is the petro canada 94 oct, running stage 2 93 octane. But like, as long as I don't hear knock or get warning or codes in the end it should still be fine right? The corrections when they happen is to prevent knock, and once you start knocking you would know for sure the gas is no good? |
