unleaded or premium petrol?

[ekvtir90]

I was just pondering about the fact yesterday I filled my car with unleaded petrol and right after i opened the petrol cap there was a sentence writing "only premium unleaded" What do you guys recommend I should use? unleaded is mostly cheaper than premium. I was thinking of filling up my car once a month with premium and other days with unleaded. whats best for my car? I drive a honda integra vtec. 99.

Whats a Honda Vtec?

I didnt know VTEC was a model for Integra? lol

Assuming your "vtec" is a VTiR - use premium unleaded... you can pass by using unleaded, but ever since I've owned my teg and all my mates + their tegs, we've all used premium.

You get the idea sorry lol would unleaded petrol be bad for the car in any way? or is just premium more for just performance wise? sorry for the newbie questions just curious on the matter.

mate you need to revise your terminology a little -

all fuel sold now is 'unleaded', what youre actually asking is whether you should use 91/92 octane, or 98 octane premium (there is also 95 octane premium).

theyre all unleaded

Esp in our high reving engines u need High octane fuel.

So it actually says on the fuel flap "only premium unleaded"... there is a reason for it. Just as a little bit of study for yourself, do a search for differant "grades" of fuel, and see what the differance is between them, and what advantages and disadvantages they have... as this'll help you understand why a lot of people use a higher grade fuel... unless they just do it because there friends do.

but, if you do plan on using a lower grade fuel, try not to rev the car excessively as it'll ping... amoungst other things.

Just quickly is there anything wrong with mixing petrol

as i just poured about 20L of BP ultimate, and im thinking about filling the rest up with 8000 from Mobil

IMO, premium petrol makes my car run more efficient than 91/92 octane.
Apparently with the normal or 91/92 octane, your fuel will not burn properly. Hence, damaging your car or even cause your car to ping sometimes.
