The main difference between regular and premium gas is the octane level. Each type of gasoline has an octane rating:
With fuel that has a higher octane level, there is less of a chance that combustion will occur at the wrong time. This is known as pre-ignition or an engine knock because this occurrence sounds like knocking. Higher-octane gas is designed to resist knocking for a smoother commute on the Red Bank roadways.
Most modern vehicles, such as the Acura models previously mentioned, are usually equipped with knock sensors included to prevent pre-ignition. While your luxury vehicle can run on lower-octane, or regular, gas, premium gas allows your Acura to perform at its best.
Acura vehicles, in particular, are created with high performance in mind. Several models are outfitted with turbocharged or supercharged engines, which use a higher compression ratio. That’s why high-octane — or premium — gas is recommended instead of regular fuel for most Acura models and required for the Acura NSX to get you from Asbury Park to Freehold.
