Re: [Biofuel] Word Play
True. I always get a laugh when people use the term hign octane when they mean high powered. There was a computer company that even went so far as to name a product Octane. They are pretty much out of business now. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Detonation (knocking) and preignition are different, although preignition promotes detonation.

[Biofuel] Word Play
Original miles and miles are the same. A '57 Chevy with 60k miles and 60k original miles are identical. From what I've teased out, it dates back to when odometers stopped at 100k. The titles would have a space where you could state that the miles showing on the odometer were not the actual miles, and that the true mileage was in excess of the car's ability to record. You could have a car w/ 150,000 original miles. Now, for my next trick, what does high octane gas do for your 1997 Honda Civic? -Miss Grundy MK DuPree wrote: Maybe we could say...it runs goodly? As far as original miles and miles are concerned, a '57 Chevy with 60K miles would make me wonder if those were on a motor that replaced the old motor. So, telling me original, supposedly tells me it's the original motor, which, still says nothing about whether or not it runs goodly. Nonetheless, if the body was without rust and the interior had been kept up etc etc, it might be a good buy for some reeltor to help hone her marketing skills while she helps her customer home in on a new home.

actually it stops predetonation(going off too early) in high compression gasoline engines which can damage the engine.
