Now I'm no expert on this, but I believe that the higher in octane your fuel is (an extra row of hydrocarbons) the higher compression can be run before the fuel will detonate (knocking). So the octane level you need is directly proportionate to the compression level in your engine.
Personally I'd run the highest I could find if I has a 3s under my bonnet, but I know in Sugar Land (ahaha USA I guess) you have a harder time finding high quality fuels. I know the premium levels in Europe are around 95. I think the USA would be similar to that. Over here we have 98+ fuel. So basically run premium unleaded (like bp ultimate or shell optimax). Both of those are 98's. |
