Oh, I was just in the area at the time and thankfully aren't too disappointed as I need at least 95 and their 98 contains ethanol.
If you need 95, could you mix, say, 50 / 50 of their 91 and 98 (not exact, but you know what I mean)?
Alan.
It was the ethanol that's the problem, not the higher octane. Higher octane is almost never a problem.
Don't really know much about cars but my Mechanic on the shore recommended Gull's 98 for my Mazda Premacy. I guess it just depends on the vehicle.
I was more thinking that the 50 / 50 (ish) mix would reduce the effective percentage of ethanol to around 5%, so maybe that would then be okay?
I know almost nothing about this stuff!
Alan.
@Alan6984: Any ethanol is bad. The alcohol corrodes basically everything in old engines. It's bad enough I'm using 95 rather than leaded but there's no knocking so eh.
@danvelopment: So, does that mean that if I have a newish car (2017) it won't be an issue (in general - I appreciate that nothing is every certain)?
@Alan6984: Yeah, new cars are fine. They use synthetic materials for seals, fuel injection etc. I've got a 1968 Morris Minor.
Then again most new cars only need 91 and the ethanol is only in their 98.
It's often just the high compression performance vehicles, and super efficient small engines with turbos (like the little 1.0L Ford) that want higher than 91.
Just imagine the chaos
