    if your engine can take 88 octane or less then it is OK.

    They're pitching the 88 for carbureted engines and small engines (weed-whacker, lawnmower, generator)... I suppose it has no E10. E10 can cause problems with rubber fittings not designed for it... and in generators and boat engines, where it is left sitting for a long time in a moist environment, it collects water... a lot of water.

    Most modern EFI engines require a minimum of 92 RON. Unless your car has a sticker that states specifically that it can use less, I wouldn't risk it.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
