I found this more interesting than anything else:

How much of a loss? Some indication can be found in the peak horsepower numbers Hyundai recently released for its new Genesis sedan. On premium, the 4.6-liter V-8 engine is rated at 375 horsepower. On 87-octane regular, it is 368.

When in the hell did Hyundai come out with a 375HP V8???

Umm, recently. And they dropped it in a pretty nice car. Kinda changes that whole stereotype Hyundai thing.

Yeah, not really. That stereotype still has quite a bit of life left in it... sphss

Tough call.... Octane and pinging have been an issue since we started burning fuel and compression dictates that.

I don't think I would run my 10:1 motor and bet the farm it's gonna hold up. Not to mention, if something does happen and the manufacture tells me to pound sand, was it worth the extra 40 bucks everytime I fill up...? 40 here and there or 50K if they say I voided the warranty.

Three words not usually used in a sentence with Hyundai in it.. "Pretty nice car". sphss

I would disagree

Anyone with a vehicle that is chipped better run high octane. Especially if you are towing or under load.

Example:
New Tahoe + boat + super chip = pinging + grenaded motor

It was kind of funny to look at the warranty slip and see a line item:
Engine $0.00

I think it's the best looking combination of Civic, Celica and and Eclipse, styling ever done by Hyundai.

How can a dealer tell what octane you run in your car?? Is there a computer chip or something?? After you grenade your motor you could get some cans and fill it with 91??

Not a clue.... If they can, I don't want to be the guy to find out the hard way.

Damfino but in super hot weather 91 octane really seems to run better in the 8.1.

Ahh hell, I dunno.

The last time I blew up a motor, they tested the oil in the vehicle to make sure it was inside the crankcase during the explosion. With the fuel.... I have no idea, you would probably have to blow the 91 octane through the fuel system. sphss

 

[Rivertoys]

The power change is nothing new......In 1990 my new Toyota 4x4 v-6 was rated for 91 octane but the manual said if you ran 87 it would get about 5 less hp via the computer adjusting. If the computer knows the differance (probablty due to cylinder temps or something), then I'd guess a tech would be able to tell by what the computer tells him.

I do like the 2 door coupe. The sedan looks like anything else out there. To have that kind of power in a rear wheel drive coupe, and most likely an affordable sticker will likely be a hit with the younger gens that play with tuners and generally don't buy into the American market, Ford Mustang in particular.
