    HOME!!!! ❤ WHOA! YOU'RE IN MY AREA!
    This place, De-Na-Zin, Dééł Náázíní, translates as “Standing Crane,” which is a reference to crane petroglyphs found south of the Wilderness. This place is also a HUGE sacred "playground" to our Warrior Twins. It is said, the warrior (Hero) twins, Born of Water and Monster Slayer, are the twin sons of Changing Woman and were born to rid the earth of the monsters who were killing the Diné (navajo). Monster Slayer is the elder twin, known as Nayénzganíí in Diné, and Born of Water is the younger twin, known as Tobadzîschíníí in Diné. With that said, they used that entire area as their "playground or practice" field. They hid behind the boulders, hoodoos, and other natural formation. After all they were the ones who rid the area of Yeí's (monsters), with the help of their father. Our father, the sun Jóhonaaʼéí.
    Enjoy our lands, even if it BLM or if it's a NP, before all of that. "This" place belonged to my people, The Diné. 😊

    Don't worry about the regular gas. That 4.7 motor in the LC was also in that generation Tundra. It's arguably the most robust motor Toyota ever built. If you Google it there is a lot of info. But many have run 86/87 octane for 100's of thousands of miles without issue.

    • @mattv5281
      @mattv5281 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My 4runner has the same engine, and I've never put anything besides regular in it (85 octane here in Colorado). I'm surprised the land cruiser calls for premium. Sure they could tune it different for different models, but the horsepower numbers for the land cruiser are not impressive.

    You used that octane booster for exactly the right purpose, to boost the octane of fuel that was lower than specified for your vehicle. Having said that, octane only matters if it's low enough to make your car engine knock/ping. The 91 octane spec probably allows for situations like towing up a mountain at full throttle pulling a trailer, the situation most prone to causing knock. Depending upon how low your tank is when you filled it with 87, the booster adding about 2 octane points may or may not have been needed, but better safe than sorry.
    If you ever do get in a situation with engine knock, just ease up on the power and torque you're asking the engine for. Slow down, gear down, and rev up to stop knock.
    The other pro/con of using the booster is that it's also a pretty serious cleaner, so there's a risk of releasing dirt that will clog fuel injectors, and a chance it will clean injectors. So it's a roll of the dice, likely at a time when you don't want to roll dice.
    A more modest octane booster is ethanol, available most commonly as "yellow bottle HEET" in the auto/oil section at Wal-Mart. I use it as alcohol-backpacking-stove fuel myself. My car runs fine on 87, and there's usually no way of knowing how much ethanol (up to 10%) is already mixed into gas. Many cars can't handle over 10% ethanol, some can.
    As with most auto questions, read and follow what your car's owner's manual says. Which is pretty much what you did by using octane booster when forced to use 87 octane due to availability.

    • @EfficientRVer
      @EfficientRVer ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, I meant METHANOL, not ethanol, as what yellow HEET is. Old folks call it "dry gas", although sometimes ethanol is called that also.

    I really enjoyed the video from my little slice of Heaven. I was raised in NW New Mexico and have lived here for almost 60 years. I’ve spent many hours in these badlands. I love them.
    I wouldn’t be afraid of putting regular gas in your vehicle. Don’t waste your time with the high-dollar additive. Engines with high compression use higher octane fuel but the computer compensates nicely. Just don’t expect peak performance when you try to drag race it. Don’t try to hot-rod with low octane fuel because you might get “pre ignition” which could damage pistons and valves.

    Awesome. Putting regular gas in your vehicle once in a while, like an emergency will not be an issue. However doing it often or all the time, will cause engine breakdown eventually.

  • @largelarry2126
    @largelarry2126 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just so you know, your computer in the Cruiser will retard the ignition timing if it senses spark knock. With most cars running regular fuel in the car that needs premium will do fine until you put the car under some stress, as in lugging the car up a hill in a higher gear. You could see a reduction in gas millage but on flat land with no head wind most cars will do fine. For the most part your computer will keep your engine safe, so no big deal, plus it's not 100% regular fuel in your tank. We have a 200 series Cruiser and it uses regular.

  • @davidpierce4949
    @davidpierce4949 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Usually at higher elevations, vehicles need lower octane. So you are probably okay with regular gas.

  • @posteroonie
    @posteroonie ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the octane booster is the perfect answer to putting regular gas in a premium-only car. It's better to add it before filling up, so it's mixed by the gas flowing in, but driving where you did probably sloshed the fuel around enough. :) Great video, just a few weeks ago I was looking at images after a Google search of the Alien Throne. If only the Valley of Dreams wasn't so far off the beaten path, although maybe that's part of what makes it special.

  • @trishrobbins9942

    I went to Ah-Shi Sle-Pah a few years ago but didn't have the coordinates for Alien Throne and such, so I wandered for a few hours. Saw some cool things, but not the REALLY cool stuff.
    As for octane, no, one tank of regular won't hurt anything as long as you drive moderately. Contrary to what many people think, high octane gas isn't some kind of super fuel that gives your engine more power. It's needed in higher compression, higher power engines to avoid pre-detonation of the fuel-air mixture. High pressure creates heat. Create enough heat and the fuel-air mixture will start to burn a little before it's supposed too, causing stress on the engine. Octane makes fuel less volatile, harder to burn. But digitally controlled engines can adjust the spark timing somewhat to reduce pre-detonation/knock. (There are knock sensors on the engine.) Octane booster can help, but I had to chuckle when the label mentioned jet fuel. Jet fuel is essentially kerosene with some anti-icing and corrosion additives. Kerosene is less refined than gasoline.

    Yes, that area is so remote and some very interesting landscape features. I drove through there a number of years ago, stopped in the middle of the dirt road for lunch and a potty break and continued on. I don't think I saw another person all day. I love it except when the gas tank is getting empty, there is no cell service to ask the Google maps lady where the next gas station is.

    Octane Booster will help, and you should use it when you can't find premium fuel. If the octane is insufficient, you will hear a light knocking (detonation) in the engine when you try to accelerate, especially from slower speeds. If you don't hear any knock, you're good.👍

    What a great location and video.
    A "premium fuel" engine will only deliver it's maximum advertised torque and power using the design octane fuel. Some engines designed for premium will deliver slightly better mpg on premium vs regular. Sometimes cost per mile for fuel is the same due to efficiency gains. Sometimes not.
    Modern engines have technology that adjusts the engine tuning to protect itself if a lower octane fuel is used.
    Olden days engines did not have knock sensing technology and can be damaged by allowing excessive "pinging" running fuel that is too low "octane".

    I've driven that road many times between Farmington and Albuquerque, I didn't know those unusual sites existed.

    You're ok on the occasional lower octane fuel. Mix in some premium when you can and you'll be fine.

    It has to be the alien throne! But, I also enjoyed all of the others! Like the wing you hiked to was pretty incredible too! Definitely added the badlands of New Mexico to my must see list! I'm a huge fan of petrified wood also! When you were walking next to that perfect log I thought you were going to not touch it and literally said out loud toch it! 😂
