BP Ultimate means engine quicker warm-up?

[lh59]

I filled up my 1.3 auto Yaris yesterday with BP Ultimate. This is the first time I'm using premium fuel since petrol price has gone down a bit and I just want to try it for fun. This morning, I noticed that my cool engine light went off about 30% quicker than it normally took when I use regular unleaded. Not sure whether this is due to the premium fuel. Have anyone experienced this as well? I didn't notice any difference in the power though. Might be because I rarely rev my engine beyond 2500rpm. Will keep a close look at the cool engine light tomorrow again to double check.

Yeah I run premium and it seems a little faster to heat up now ,probably since premium burns hotter. I have noticed not so much a power increase but an increase in the smoothness of the motor it purrs nicer^-^

If you are going to throw your money away just for fun you may as well read how useless higher octane fuel is for the motor not designed for it.

this subject has been beaten to death too many times to count. if a person wants to put premium fuel in his tank and you don't agree just keep it to yourself........

The cool engine light turn off about 30% faster again this morning. I guess I need to include that BP Ultimate can indeed provide quicker warm-up. Having said all that, I'll be switching back to regular unleaded on my next refill. I think the price difference is too much to pay for the quicker warm-up. I bought the premium fuel more as an experiment rather than long term use.

Maybe if you dont like the subject you can just pass on by it rather than offering your equally redundant "beaten to death" $0.02

Take your own advice! This same original thread topic has been discussed many times before. So why do you keep wasting thread space?

Because i'm not whining about how often this topic arises and have no problem discussing topics that have arisen before.Such as why people throw good money away on the mistaken belief that somehow higher octane gasoline is beneficial to a cars engine thats designed to run on regular octane gas,the only benefit i can see is the gas companies making more money on top of their already obscene profits.

Logically, the type of fuel used should have no noticeable bearing on the time the car takes to warm up. I believe it is probably due more so to the warmer ambient temperatures that we are having at present helping the coolant warm up quicker.

It is exceedingly foolish to run premium in the Yaris. A very small displacement engine, not having high compression, nor turbo...and in fact running premium may well cause the engine to make less power, as it is not tuned for that octane. The speed-racers, boy-racers, often those under 28 years of age run premium...it makes up for voids in their lives, sadly, and is funny too.

An interesting opinion, and very different to mine and that of a lot of other rally competitors I know.

The quicker engine warm-up is what I observed during the past 4 days. I'll take a note again on the engine warm-up period when I switch back to regular unleaded. Like I said, I'm doing this just as an experiment, and I'm not going to stick with premium considering the price difference.

[rob323]

Please do, it will be an interesting characteristic of a higher octane fuel if the warm up time goes back to normal with the regular octane jungle juice.

i love premium gas.... yes its more expensive, wastes faster, and isnt really made for this car but.... it DOES clean out your engine and will improve mpg in the long-run... this is facts not an opinion so dont shoot the messenger
