    Premium in a Toyota? That like putting a 1500W PSU in a tower with an i5, a single drive, and a gtx-980 as the only PCI card.

      I am not a car person.

      It is unconcievable to me that you can identify the brand of a car from such a partial picture.

        I’m not super familiar with cars either, but for people that are, things like the fuel door and cap are unique between different makes and models. If you stare at cars enough, you just kinda begin to know these things

          Pretty much.

          I recognize the cap and its tether, but not sure what model. (looks close to a 2010 Prius or Yaris)

        I’m the same, but then I realized I can likely identify a bunch of makes models and years of guitars and basses by a partial photo.

      ‘Premium’ gasoline is such a misleading name.

      It is more like messing around with undervolting when you don’t know what you are doing.

        Maybe.

        I was more referring to the efficiency side. In that a PSU is most efficient when between a certain wattage of power draw. Similarly, using a fuel formulated for high compression will be less efficient than one for low compression in an engine that is low compression.
