Difference between Fuel Grades (Octane)

When filling up your car’s gas tank, you’re presented with different options for fuel octane grades. But what do these different grades mean, and how do they affect your car?

Let’s start with the basics: octane is a measure of a fuel’s ability to resist “knocking” or “pinging” during combustion, caused by the air/fuel mixture detonating prematurely in the engine. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating.

The most common octane grades you’ll see at the pump are 87 (regular), 89 (mid-grade), and 91-93 (premium).

Regular gasoline, also known as 87 octane, is the most common and least expensive option. It’s suitable for most cars on the road today, but it may not provide the best performance or fuel economy. This type of fuel is also called “Regular Unleaded” or “87 octane”

Mid-grade gasoline, also known as 89 octane, is a step up from regular gasoline. It’s designed to provide better performance and fuel economy than regular gasoline. Some cars may require this type of fuel, but most modern vehicles can run on regular gasoline without any problems.

Premium gasoline, also known as 91-93 octane, is the highest octane fuel available. It’s designed for high-performance and luxury vehicles that require higher compression ratios. These cars are engineered to run on higher octane fuel, which can provide better performance and fuel economy. Some vehicles may require premium gasoline to run properly, but for most vehicles, it’s an unnecessary expense.

E85 fuel is a great alternative to gasoline, composed of 51-85% ethanol. Benefits include improved engine performance, reduced emissions, and a cleaner burn. It’s also affordable, typically costing less than other fuel options. E85 is popular in racing as it runs cooler than gasoline. This type of fuel typically requires a custom tune.

Higher octane fuel won’t improve performance or fuel economy; it may even decrease performance and increase fuel consumption. Check your vehicle’s owner manual to know what type of fuel it requires.

Used Car Myth Busted: The Month-End Sale

Are you in the market for a used car and have heard that the end of the month is the best time to buy? Well, us bust that myth for you right now.

The idea behind this myth is that dealerships are trying to hit their monthly sales quotas and will be more willing to negotiate at the end of the month. But let’s be real, do you really think they’re just going to hand over a great deal because the calendar flipped to a new month?

In reality, dealerships are businesses and their main goal is to make money. They’re not going to just give away cars at a loss, no matter what time of the month it is. Plus, with the rise of digital sales and remote purchasing options, the concept of a “monthly quota” is becoming increasingly irrelevant. It’s even less relevant for a used car dealer, who doesn’t offer “manufacturer sales or rebates”

So, don’t waste your time waiting until the end of the month to buy a used car. Start your search now and be prepared to haggle for the best deal. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

And remember, don’t fall for myths and do your own research, Don’t just take our word for it, go out and do your own research and get the best deal for you.

How to Avoid Hidden Fees

Hidden fees can be a real pain for car buyers. They make it hard to budget for a car purchase, which can lead to frustration and disappointment. Plus, it’s almost impossible to compare prices between dealerships when there are hidden fees involved. All in all, hidden fees make car buying a lot more complicated than it needs to be.

To avoid hidden fees, customers should choose a dealership, like Fellah Auto Group that is transparent about their pricing and that does not charge any additional fees beyond the advertised price of the vehicle. This can help ensure that customers are able to budget accurately for their vehicle purchases and that they are able to compare prices between different dealerships.

Another way to avoid hidden fees is by choosing a dealership that offers a “no-haggle” pricing policy. This means that the dealership will offer a fair, upfront price for the vehicle, without the need for negotiation. This can help customers avoid the stress and uncertainty of haggling over the price of the vehicle, and can also help ensure that the dealership is not hiding any additional fees. At Fellah Auto Group, we are the most aggressively priced dealer, always the lowest prices.

To have a good car-buying experience, it is important to do your research and pick a reliable dealership. One that offers fair, transparent prices and a “no-haggle” policy. This way, you won’t be surprised by hidden fees and will be able to budget and compare prices easier. At Fellah Auto Group, we have no hidden fees, only the taxes and registration fees that we must by way of State Law.

Collecting the Right documentation

To get a new car after a total loss, contact your insurance company.

What is the difference between Leasing vs Financing

Leasing and financing are two different ways to pay for a vehicle. When you finance a vehicle, you are taking out a loan to pay for the car in full, and then making monthly payments to the lender until the loan is paid off. Once the loan is paid off, you own the car outright.

On the other hand, when you lease a vehicle, you are essentially renting it for a specified period of time, typically two to three years. You will make monthly payments, but the car will still belong to the leasing company at the end of the lease term. At that point, you will have the option to buy the car, return it to the leasing company, or lease a different vehicle.

Financing can be a good option if you want to build equity in the car and build credit, and if you are willing and able to take on the responsibility of paying off a loan. It is important to carefully consider your options and decide which option is best for you based on your individual circumstances and needs.
