There's no point of using anything other than the cheapest fuel for a dinky 1.3 engine... unless it's a wankel or something...

Don't forget, it's a 1.3Li engines, other than fuel economy, there's no reason why manufacturers would even "tune" it to use expensive fuel. - Kinda defeats the purpose if high octane is required...

The off-the-pants "gain" most people feel with higher octane simply means that the car's timing is advanced a little to accomodate it.

lowest octane rating gasoline that doesn't cause knocking in your engine or better yet check your manual. i drive a bmw325 and a yamaha r1 and use 93 octane gasoline in both of these vehicles and wala naman problema... kasi yun ang nakalagay sa manual. actually recommended nila eh 95ron pero pwede naman daw as low as 89 kaya i use 93 ron na lang.

boyscout is right, as long as it doesn't cause your engine to knock, there is no point in paying extra for higher octane fuels. if you really wanna make sure, do check your manual

Salamat po sa inyong mga impormasyon at marami akong natutunan. hopefully, makatipid ako at mapatagal ang sasakyan. anyway po sa manual kc nakalagay engine disp ay 1,339/SOHC at recommended fuel niya ay unleaded minimum of 91 RON lang. Di ko lang alam kung may 91 ron dito or yun ba ang katumbas ng 93 dito sa pinas e.g sa super unleaded its 95 octane nakasulat sa gas station.

use petron xtra unleaded. it's better than shell unleaded based on my experience. my engine knocks when i use shell unleaded but when i switched to petron, nawala na.
