Which of them are you using?

"What petrol does my car use?"
You are wasting your money if you are filling up with high octane fuel and your engine is not designed to take advantage of it. The decision about which fuel to use for best performance is not your decision to make. This has already been decided by the engine manufacturer. Assuming you have not modified your engine, and kept your car well maintained, the best fuel to use for your modern car is most likely stated on the petrol cap, or listed in the vehicles handbook.


If your car manufacturer recommends ULP, rejoice! That’s regular UnLeaded Petrol. Regular unleaded petrol is usually the cheapest unleaded petrol at the pump and provided your engine is not modified and in good shape, ULP as stated in the handbook is the best choice for your car. More expensive premium unleaded petrol with RON above 91 will not do your car any harm, but will not drastically improve performance. Save your money and treat yourself to a premium beer at your next BBQ.

If minimum RON95 or RON98 is specified for your car, you must not fill with regular unleaded. Always fill with premium unleaded petrol (PULP) at or above the minimum RON specified by your car manufacturer. The engine will be designed to take advantage of the higher octane. Using unleaded petrol with lesser octane could produce engine knocking resulting in expensive damage, especially when driven aggressively or heavily loaded.

Fuel type Unleaded 91. ( Don't buy E91 with Ethanol. )
If your servo only sells E91, 95, 98, then buy 95. Search for a servo that sells 91 without ethanol to save a few fifteen centses !

I was pushing her to buy 95 because that's more efficient than 91.
A few cents more and more Kms to run with it.
