I'm thinking about running unleaded race fuel in the maverick has anyone else tried it and does it run any better?
Thanks Rich

unless the gizmo helps with 95 oct,Are you saying the Maverick's ecu can change values with the higher octane... or do the racers have an
aftermarket unit programmer to do it for them? Why would you want to run a higher octane when it has
less power (energy)?
The same Can am that said my 2011 Commanders screaming rear diff whine was normal or that the Maverick clutch is perfect!!Yes. The ECU is pretty smart. That's what Can Am has told us racers to run for being safe and having power.
The reason for the knock sensor is to protect the engine from lower octane (more energy). It will do nothing for adding higher octane nor giveIt has a knock sensor. I hear a ping or knock while running at Glamis, usually when slowing for a G out and then gassing it on the uphill. I never hear it in the desert though. I also read that it will cut timing when it sences detonation (ping,knock,whatever you want to call it). That way you can run it on Pemex (87 mex fuel).
That may be... because higher octane has less energy thus less heat.unless the gizmo helps with 95 oct,
the only other thing higher octane does is run cooler
other wise if ur motor cant use it RIGHT , its worthless
A lot of good info in there.higher octane burns longer preventing detonation,here is sum good info to
Does premium unleaded burn hotter than regular - Bob Is The Oil Guy
Agreed. The guys running 100+ octane in a stock motor are wasting your money and getting less HP to boot.Unless you are going to raise the compression ratio of your motor just run ethanol free premium. Ok I'm done
do they sell that in phx az or is all prem ethanol free?Unless you are going to raise the compression ratio of your motor just run ethanol free premium. Ok I'm done
