Negative on all that.... You can only run straight A1!  8)

In all seriousness, it doesn't matter what fuel you use. Some people have run E10 without any issues, some people use 91RON and others use premium and above.

Premium and V-power etc. I have found to make the engine a lot smoother than poo-fuel as well as increasing economy. You won't start getting 100,000kms per tank, but it does improve.

Datsun boys, we like 'em fast, so we drop 'em low, heavy on the gas!

hey like fuzzy dropbear said you can use any fuel but if i run my car on normal fuel it run like a bag of crap.

ever since Ive been running premium runs better. the think premium is about 96/97% octane

sometime i get a octane booster that brings it up to 99 close to 100%.

Hahaha memories.

Your safe using 91 octane if the car is stock or has exhaust and pod. If you have cam chip etc you'd be wanting to go 95 or 98 octance depending on your tune.

Premium will go into your car fine. I also found my KA24E ran better on premium but who knows. I've heard fuels with ethanol eat your seals etc. Not sure if its true but I won't, just incase.
