Brother, always remember take your car on long route once a while on motorway filled with HOBC and paddle it.... say, if u live in islo go upto kallarkhahar and back .....it will not only clean the exhaust system but will also recharge your car battery. You will also come to know if your car has any other problem. Driving in city area is not good for car. Also remember you will find a mark difference in performance of your car.

Hope it helps.....stay blessed.

Is it a Turbo?,......i got it 21.6 from sahiwal to Mianchanu.....but on 90km/hr.....it purely depends on how u drive.....mashallah.....nice avg...

[khuram2703]

I have done it twice....no reset bro.....make it loose and twist......but the idea of maint free dry batt is the best

I have booked my Civic X 1.8 Oriel and i am thinking to fill the first full tank with HOBC so should i or should i put normal petrol?

[arkhitekt]

Mix 40:60 with Super being more. Always follow this practice whenever you plan to use some hi-octane. Don't go for pure as normally you would be using super most of the times and a sudden change in fuel might give teeny tiny timing variation because the ecu is taking command and data of past usage.

I hardly use Hi-octane. Maybe once a month after every 4-5 tanks and that too with mixing.

Maybe I am wrong but this is my myth and opinion. So apologies if what I said doesn't make sense

[pwuser148113432293]

No it's oriel well I never got good average while I was driving myself but could got 18 on cruise control and after kalarkahar till lahore it was 15.5 to 16 depending on terrain

[pwuser148113432293]

Agreed it absolutely makes sense

I'm really apprehensive about this. The kind of problems people report here, heaven knows what's going to happen! Whatever short term long term fuel trims and timing the engine is running, it's giving great power, near zero knocking, decent consumption, even on regular / HOBC mix.

I'm going on a couple of weeks vacation and for CL9 it's easy peasy - just loosen the nut and remove the terminal. Not so for Turbo - I'll ask my bro to drive it every couple of days as I don't want to disconnect the terminal.

No peace of mind after spending so much !!!!

[taha.rauf1]

Will it effect the engine and will it give better throttle response?

[arkhitekt]

Yes the throttle response will negligibly feel better if you really observe. Not a massive impact though, afterall its a 1.8 family car. The fuel average does get better though

[taha.rauf1]

And it's not dangerous for the engine?

[arkhitekt]

No not at all. An engine that requires higher ron shouldn't be run on on lower but an engine with a lower ron requirement can be run on slightly higher ones.

[shahrayziology]

@arkhitekt Aoa brother. As you really know about cars and your advices are the ones to be considered, I want to ask that I'm using only hi-octane in my Oriel. Is it alright? I only had to fill my car's tank fully only 2 times (as we don't use it as a daily driver) and it was hi-octane. What if I continue to use only hi-octane? Or should I start mixing it? As someone told me hi-octane is better for car's engine that's why I went for HOBC twice

[arkhitekt]

Lolz... I don't know about cars like people think. I just try to use my own myths. There isn't much harm in constantly using it but you then need to stick to it regularly. Although I don't see much advantage of doing that as a NA engine has lower compression ratio as opposed to a Turbo.

In Low Compression Ratio engine, Hi-Octane fuel never reaches to its optimum limit which has more margin and the planned ignition takes place earlier. So, there is no major advantage or use of High Octane fuel in a regular relatively low compression ratio engine. You can keep using it if you like, but then don't switch back to Regular. Or you could transit towards some mixing gradually.

[khurem]

Why bother about mixing in Oriel? What if someone just continue to use Super all the time in it without mixing some HOBC after a few days/months? Will it harm the engine?

[arkhitekt]

Not at all bro, that's the whole point. Oriel doesn't exactly need that extra punch. So you can keep using regular fuel but do use good quality to prolong your catcon. Occasional mixing will help that a bit as well. Agar kabhi mood ho toh go for it. Even if you don't it's perfectly okay.
