in fact it is mentioned in the car's user's manual that which petrol is recommended, (more than 90 or more than 95)

one time i asked a mechanic about this and he told me to use premium only for old cars and use super only for new cars

hahaha! same as in lebanon! they put an emulsifier that mixes octane with water (that usually don't mix).

german magicians once presented a numero in lebanon where one was tied and set on fire, so he can disappear and reappear free and safe somewhere else. they immoled him with lebanese fuel, threw match after match on him but wouldn't ignite !!

the higher the octane number, the safer it is for ur engine, because the engine will decide when the fuel must be ignited by the sparkle; in lower octane numbers, the fuel might detonate by itself before the spark and damage ur engine.

it's the octane number : The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. In broad terms, fuels with a higher octane rating are used in high-compression engines that generally have higher performance.
