I have just been reading about how you can increase or decrease the life of an engine just by using the wrong octane fuel.
The thing is that here in Dubai, we have four grades.
Super - 98 Octane
Special - 95 Octane
E-Plus - 91 Octane
Diesel
I'm not sure as to what standards the octane levels being calculated, but I have heard from many forums and online posts that the recommended octane is 87 or 89 octane (US pump gas spec).
I know that the octane grades are calculated differently and I'm not sure how I can find out what would be the correct Octane fuel to use in my truck.
At the moment, I am using Special - 95 Octane, as that is what most people use. But if switching to Super or E-Plus will be more beneficial in the long run, then that is what I will do.
Any comments or ideas?
