Aussi EV Survey

Originally referenced in a YouTube video, this survey applies to my experience in the USAl

Source: https://thedriven.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/TOCA-Report_FINAL-1.pdf

In total, 741 Tesla owners responded to the survey, from across the country, making up 51% of the total TOCA membership. This is a significant response to a self-reporting survey, and one of the largest surveys of EV owners in Australia.

A wide range of Tesla owners were surveyed, including many that have owned EVs for several years, and have long-term experience in driving and charging their EV.

Respondents to this survey provided information on vehicle owner demographics, charging behaviour, and total cost
of ownership, helping to gain a better understanding of EV ownership in Australia, and also address some common misconceptions.

What octane gas are you really putting in your car

When you pull in for gas , I am wondering the distance between the nozzle you put in your tank and the underground valve that connects the proper underground reservoir, according the octane you choose.
Playing with calculators here is what I observe.
For the purpose of the discussion the pipe is 1 inch inner diameter. So the previous fill up was 87 octane you choose to fill up with 91 octane.
It turns out that the first gallon pumped in your car will be 87 octane even if you choose 91.if these condition are met
1- distance between nozzle and switching valve is 25 feet and piping is one inch inner diametre.
Does someone know the specifics of switching octane at the pump ( piping diameter, the switching octane valve distance. etc
Thanks
