you should run 98 in them, and if you can't find 98 then use 95 sparingly.

NEVER use 91

Um.. 98?

95 will run fine, but you will notice a significant difference using 98ron in economy and power.

Cars from Japan run on 101ron fuel so the closer to that u can get the more efficient your car should run.
I would only run 98 if u have the choice.

I wouldn't be happy using 95 without a quality octane booster like STP or Valvoline. Just MO

Yep I agree with everyone else. 98 OCT ...

I was getting engine knocking with 95 .. hence why I'm now retiring the Legnum from daily use !

my car would always stall using 91 so i never use that now but 95 oct is fine never had a problem and the car never heard any knocks or anything bad coming from the engine bay at all. mind you i have never had most of the problems i have heard people talking of and yet my car has done more then most of you.

On 95, my car ran like a slug. Will NEVER put less than 98 in it again.

I've used 95 a couple of times when 98 wasnt available (in the country etc) and had no issues.

I went on a 300k+ country run yesterday but before I left town I grabbed a bottle of octane booster incase I needed to fuel up with 95, I think it will live in the boot for such an occasion.
I really wanna try some toluline soon :)

Leigh,

I had to use 95 the other day from 711 out of no choice and my car went great on it. but again, i will always use 98 just to be on the safe side, but i was suprised. mayb shell provide 7/11 premium with v-power?? instead of premium 95?

cheers,
brent
