91 vs 95

mchatchell, Apr 1, 4:58pm
OK, not wishing to start a fist fight in aisle 3, but what are the pros and cons of running a vehicle on 91 vs 95! Does 95 result in better fuel economy, less maintenance and better running, or is that just a rumour! Thinking in terms of a 2002 2.2l Camry.

Just run your car on what it was designed for, in your case its probably 91 (have a look in the handbook)

Not after excitement, so that's OK.

Depends on the car. Why don't you try a couple of tanks of each, and do the maths

95 makes the engine run smoother and I've noticed an improvement in power. Still waiting to see if I get more than an extra 27kms to offset the 10c per litre extra cost.

Its not always 10 cents more a litre carkitter, where do you gas up.

I never pay 10c more for 95

I've noticed a decent increase in fuel economy running 95 vs 91 in my CRX

tried it in my sentra but no noticible difference so went back to 91. Dont get pinking anyway and the car doesnt have a knock sensor so its not going to take advantage of the higher detonation resistance. Its a 1991 so hardly expect it to either.
