I drive a 96 corolla. I used unleaded gas from the time we got it in 1996 until it turned 6 years old when I switched to premium. I've been thinking of switching back to unleaded because of the high gas prices but a friend told me that older cars are supposed to use premium gasoline. Is this true?

June 27th, 2008 12:10 AM #2You can simply switch to unleaded gasoline or whatever is the recommended fuel type for your car. Your corolla should run fine with unleaded gasoline. It would probably run fine on E10 gasoline aside from the slightly reduced fuel mileage.

June 27th, 2008 07:43 AM #4Gasoline fuels are all unleaded now, it's just a matter of octane level, from 91 (or is it 87?) to 95 octane. Originally Posted by Cathy_for_you

June 27th, 2008 08:13 AM #7Do I need to empty the tank or I could mix the unleaded with premium? I'm supposed to have my weekly full tank later kasi.

June 27th, 2008 01:13 PM #17TS Guys,
Help naman dyan..
Curious po..
My Car needs 87 octane..
Ang dami pagpipilian na fuels ngayon.. may bago pa E10..
Ano anu kayo full contents ng Fuels natin dito..(reference)
Kailangan ko pumili ng Lower price Fuel dahil ang taas na nila ngayon.
I use Shell's V-Power eversince with 95 octane. (maganda hatak)
Ngayon.. i use Shell's Premium Unleaded.. 93 octane.
Parang gusto ko na bumaba pa ng isang level..
Shell's Unleaded.. 93 octane.. Napapaisip ako ano ba pinagkaiba nyan.
Masama kaya ginagawa ko paiba iba ako ng Fuel type?
Bakit palaging V-Power ang alok sa CRV ko sa Shell Stations?
Necessity ba ng CRV ang V-Power or waste of money lang dahil 87 octane lang naman ang needed nito as per my Honda Manual..
Thank you.

June 27th, 2008 01:23 PM #18premium, extra, unleaded, E10, whatever, basta gasolina, pwede yan.
wag lang lagyan ng diesel ang gas tank nyo.
Kung gusto mag tipid talaga, mag LPG nalang

June 27th, 2008 01:23 PM #19^^ hindi lang po sa CRV or particular cars ang alok sa v-power. kahit anong dala ko car, yun lagi aalok sakin "sir, good evening... v-power, full tank?"
if you want to go any lower than that... E10 pwede diyan pero sabi nga nila, bababa yung FC mo and its more efficient to fill the tank with super unleaded.
if you really want to save on gas... as ghosthunter would say... LPG na yan.
:peace:
