    If you're after cost-savings that won't work. Install an LPG kit if need be.

    But seriously... There is still such a thing as Regular Unleaded Gasoline. Petron still markets this and it has a lower octane rating than their Xtra Unleaded Gasoline.

    Regular Unleaded Gasoline is designed for low compression engines (typical of pre-1970s vehicles) which have engines with a compression ration of about 8.5 to 1. The Optra 1.6 engine runs a compression ratio of 9.5 to 1 which makes it a high compression engine.

    Use at least Xtra Unleaded Gasoline for it or XCS Plus or its equivalent in Shell, Caltex, Total, etc.

    The manual says the car requires at least a 93 RON gasoline.

    Interesting... Can you attach a scanned copy of that page? Is it for the F16D Engine (E-Tec II 1.6)?

    Manual ko walang nakasulat kung anong RON rating kailangan. TIA.
