Does it matter what type of fuel you use for your car?

Most vehicles only need the lower octane, the higher octane fuel can cause more problems in the long run. Majority of the population believes the BS myth you have to run the highest octane available

Yes. It has to suit the engine or the engine can seize.

You should probably use the better fuel- I think it's supposed to be better for the environment and your car? But I have an older car so I don't know if I can 😖

@IntenseCookie Really depends on the model, would always check the manufacturer recommendation before you melt your engine lol

Put diesel in and find out.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Most cars around here are diesel. The government spent years giving them tax breaks because they thought they were more environmentally friendly, now they're talking about banning them and getting everyone onto petrol-hybrids and electric cars instead.

I always use the higher grade but I don't think it matters so much unless you have an old car

Depends. It can screw up your engine if you’re not careful.

Yes. You should always use fuel that's compatible with its engine.
