What kind of gasoline do you put into your Stepway? 92 or 95? Or maybe you are pouring 98 at all? And what kind of gasoline should be poured into the Stepway in accordance with Renault's technical recommendations?
We will talk about this in our today's article.
According to the manufacturer's recommendations, Renault Sandero stepway the first generation can be filled with gasoline from 92 and above. In Stepway II Generation Renault recommends pouring AI-95 and AI-98 gasoline.
In general, then, this could have ended, since the answer to the question of which gasoline to pour into the Stepway has already been received - the one advised by the manufacturer. In general, this is correct and we always urge motorists to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations.
But, as it turned out, with the Stepways, not everything is so simple. In fact, a huge number of Renault Sandero owners Stepway second generations, not to mention the first, ignoring these recommendations, without hesitation, pour 92nd gasoline into their cars and drive as if nothing had happened. To what extent is this permissible and what can be fraught with? Let's try to figure it out.
As we have already said, in the Stepway of the first generation, it was possible to safely fill in AI-92 gasoline, moreover, this fully corresponded to the recommendations of the manufacturer.
On Stepways of the second generation, the Renault auto concern excluded 92nd gasoline from the list of recommended fuel for refueling (look at inner side hatch of your gas tank). But here the savvy in technically car owners, a reasonable question arises - why? After all, all the Stepway-2 configurations are equipped with the same old, good engines that have worked regularly on the Stepway of the first series for many years, as well as on simple Sandero and Logans, while they did not experience any problems with 92nd gasoline.
We will not give you an unequivocal answer to this question, however, among the owners of Stepways there is an opinion that Renault recommends filling 95 and 98 gasoline just in order to comply with the EURO-5 emission standard! Considering that the Stepways of the second series are equipped with the same engines as their predecessors, this argument sounds quite reasonable.
In fact, the experience of thousands of Stepway owners who pour tons of them into their gas tanks 92 gasoline, says that if you refuel the car with this type of fuel, nothing bad will happen to it. Moreover, nothing bad will happen to him, even if you always refuel with 92 gasoline.
It is also noteworthy that representatives of some dealerships Renault, answering questions about the possibility of refueling the second Stepways with AI-92 gasoline, confidently say that this can be done without any consequences for the car.
This is especially true for eight-valve engines. These units are not too demanding on the quality of gasoline and will forgive you even if you feed them with outright filth bought at some NoName gas station. Sometimes one gets the impression that the omnivorous Stepveevsky eight-valve does not care what to ride.
Regarding the possible negative consequences when refueling second-generation cars with 92-m gasoline, there is an opinion that AI-92 fuel, which has a higher combustion temperature, can quickly ditch the catalyst. However, this statement is very controversial and has not yet been confirmed by mass examples.
Summing up our conversation, I would like to say that the choice of the brand of gasoline with which you will refuel the car is a personal matter for everyone. We in no way urge all Stepway owners to switch to 92nd gasoline. On the contrary, following the recommendations of the manufacturer, you minimize your risks. But at the same time, there is no need to fear that the 92nd gasoline will "kill" the engine of your car. The experience of numerous Stepvey owners suggests otherwise.
In the end, one of the main criteria when choosing gasoline for a car is personal experience driver, based on long-term observations of the behavior of the car, its dynamics, fuel consumption, etc. If you constantly refuel your Stepway at the gas station of the same operator and the car behaves perfectly, you do not need to experiment. Continue to refuel with the same gasoline and everything will be fine! And it will be 92nd or 95th - Stepway, by and large, no difference.
That's all, good luck on the road!
Category:If you are going to buy a car Renault Logan or Sandero (second-generation cars) or have already bought it, you are probably gnawing at the question: what kind of gasoline to fill, AI-95, or can you pour AI-92?
We strongly recommend that you follow the manufacturer's instructions. V this case we are talking about AI-95. At the same time, real battles are often unfolding on the forums over which type of gasoline to use. And the thing is that when using AI-92 gasoline, the owners do not feel the difference in the behavior of the car, so they opt for less expensive fuel. Moreover, the difference in dynamics is not noticeable at all. Then why pay more?
In fact, there is a difference in dynamics, just not everyone is able to feel it. In addition, detonation may occur on gasoline with a lower octane number. As for the quality of engine parts, they, theoretically, should not suffer from such fuel.
In short, all this only pushes us to use the manufacturer's recommendations. By the way, some car owners complain that when using gasoline with a lower octane number, fuel consumption increases slightly, so there is no way to save money.
There is also a problem of a different nature - it is associated with the production of gasoline. Refineries do not always use standard fuel production methods and obtain AI-95 by adding additives to AI-92.
In general, it is up to the car owner to decide how to use gasoline. We strongly recommend that you listen to the manufacturer's words.
Drygatel 1.4 8kl. chip tuning - firmware for 95th. At first I drove the 95th, and a couple of weeks ago I carried out an experiment: I drove the 92nd for several days, then the same amount in the 95th. The route is the same. the weather is almost the same, refueling TNK, etc. The difference in consumption according to the BC readings: 7.7 l / 100 km at 92 and 7.5 at 95. I did not notice the difference in dynamics. Now switched to 92nd.http: //www.clubsandero.ru/forum/attachment.php? Attachmentid = 21343 & d = 1320018000
1.6 16kl from the date of purchase pour 92 and do not worry about it. Run 10t.km. I'm not going to go to 95.
1.6 8kl was Logan for 4 years - poured 92nd and now pour 92nd and don't hesitate: bk:
On the 92nd, the machine on the track does not pull out. with. Yes, and with a traffic light, however, it is nice to leave first :) There would be a mechanic, there would be doubts about what to pour. Brother thought and thought and cast steel 92nd in his 16i valve, but he has a mechanic. It didn’t become faster (according to his words), but it didn’t become dumber either. The motivation is one "price issue", so at the end of the year we will compare our candles at his TO1, but according to the operating conditions, it is difficult to compare - he does not travel around Moscow and there is very little on the highway.
By the way, it would be very curious to know the priorities for the machine who pours what, in particular, if such a detailed and detailed survey was muddied. That is, at the voting line for 1.6 16kl, select another subspecies for automatic transmission.
1.6 16v. At first, it was pouring 92nd, succumbing to words about saving. Then I tried the 95th. Money expenses did not change (I always refueled on the same day of the week for the same amount). The engine feels more pleasant to work. So it has remained on it to this day. In general, in my manual it is written to use the 95th, and only in its absence are other permitted octane numbers (indicated on the tank lid).
formally it is possible - you can make a survey for 10 lines.
but I can't fix it anymore.
M. b. can modders add a line?
And the point is to highlight the automatic transmission? After all, the same 1.6 16 cl. Is installed with it. with a slightly different firmware.
Something after the 92nd in the prior, I am somehow afraid to pour something other than the 95th in the sunder.
I just noticed that with prolonged use of the 92nd on the Prior, the engine began to crack, misfires began from which even replacing the spark plugs did not save.
I switched back to 95 and everything returned to normal. The engine began to run quieter, misfires stopped.
So well nafig him. Better the 95th.
And besides, familiar auto engineers said unequivocally - these Renault are better than 95.
1.6 8v I always pour 92, several times flooded 95 - there is no difference, neither in winter nor in summer :) I did not notice any savings either.
the second car in the Hyundai Accent 1.5 16v family - we also pour 92, I did not feel the difference from 95, both in winter and in summer, both on the bottom and on high revs... I did not notice any savings either.
At the beginning of September of this year, on the way from warm coastal places, being apparently in the sweet bliss of a recent vacation, slightly clicked his beak and slipped a gas station. It was at the entrance to the interchange to Rostov and Tikhoretsk from Krasnodar. The amount of gasoline in the tank is stubborn. tended to zero, because. the light was on for a long time, but I decided that on such a busy highway this was not a problem. But, turning to Rostov, I realized that I was mistaken. There were gas stations, but only when I saw them, for some reason, I remembered Vasily Alibabaevich. When I realized that I have almost 100 % chance to stand on the sidelines with outstretched hand, decided to pour at least a little, to reach a civilian gas station. And then on one of these "Alibabaevskih" I saw a traffic police "Priora" and foolishly taxied there. Filled at 200r 95go (about 7 liters). The car started up and drove off, even quite quickly, only the idle ones did not fall below 1700. What it was, I don’t know, but it didn’t look like donkey urine. I was cured by refueling up to the 95m neck at Rosneft. TO-15000, passed literally a month later, did not replacement of candles (condition was perfect). Looks like God really keeps the fools, it could be worse, so keep this in mind if anyone is going to master this route in the near future.
1.6 8kl first went to the 92nd, then switched to the 95th. I have a very noticeable difference in dynamics - on the 92nd there was a feeling that the car was not driving at all. As a result, I fell in love with the 95th (TNK). Lil several times (forcedly) TNK Pulsar - after that the car generally escaped from under his feet, but the liquid is expensive, and it is not clear what they put on there.
I have not yet decided what kind of gasoline I will pour. Most likely I will "feed" her 95th gasoline. When leaving the salon, I refueled 10 liters of the 92nd Engine 1.6 8kl. Total mileage 54km.: - D
Since leaving the car dealership I pour 92nd at Rosneft.
I confirm the words of Serge. and I will add that Step on a tress goes well at 92m (although there are no declared 6.1 and it is close, there are 7.0-7.5), and this is if you keep your cruising and less overtaking. and the city requires the 95th, imh. at the bottom in tamper-traffic jams, the flow rate at 92m climbs for 11, and in order to accelerate you need to press the gas much more, and even then from this there is more noise than the speakers. Dearest Step "at the 95th.
similarly, my stepan in the city on the 92nd rides vyalenko, on the 95th already cheerful. consumption in the city 10-12 liters, on the highway at cruising 90-100 km about 7-7.5 liters.
in vorozhen I only refuel on Lukoil
I ran it on the 95th, then moved to the 92nd, I take it directly from the ben.plant - quality + price. But on the 95th it was more vigorous.
1.4 - using 92nd * THUMBS UP *
on the highway I pour 95altimeyt from bp before leaving, on the highway itself either bp or shell or Lukoil or whatever), in the city of 92nd - burn on Idling 95th don't see the point
Sent from my ZTE V880E via Tapatalk
Machine 1.4 on the handle. Up to 4000 km, only 95 refueled at Lukoil. Three days ago, the 92nd Ecto (also Lukoil) refueled for the first time. I felt the changes immediately, the car became sluggish, the consumption increased.
The car Sandero Stepway 1.6 8 kl refueled from the new 95 dashed off 3800 refueled in different ways and 95 and 92 although now I prefer 95 all the same I refuel more vigorously at Rosneft gas stations, the former Yukos.
In continuation of the dialogue, the better to refuel, I can offer my thoughts on this matter. Last year I did some calculations, obtained by calculation and analytical means - as a result, it turned out that on the 95th route it is preferable from the point of view of fuel economy, and this year I decided to check (confirm or deny) last year's data graphically. Fortunately, thanks to the joint efforts of the members of the forum, a certain toolkit was developed that allows, it seems to me, to fairly reliably draw an averaged line from a statistical data field (or cloud).
A little about the method of obtaining data. I often have to wander between Ufa and Kazan (about 550 km one way). I made it a rule to record data on average speed and fuel consumption at various sections of the route (usually at gas stations or "smoke breaks"). The data are cumulative or with zeroing at each stop, followed by updating and fixing the flow rate and average speed data.
In parallel, I recorded data on the city traffic regime. Control races at a distance of at least 30 km.
Previously, I recorded all the indicators on a recorder or a camera (my data are presented in large enough quantities in the corresponding topic on the forum), then I became lazy and began to write down the data simply in a notebook. Since I did this exclusively for myself, driven by "research itch" and simple human curiosity, I ask you not to consider this all a convincing statement or a refutation of someone's opinions. It turned out what happened, so to speak, IMHO)
So over 1.5 years of operation, I have accumulated 132 points on this topic, including 78 points for 92nd gasoline and 54 for 95th. All data were obtained on the same highway and approximately on the same city routes in the direction both "there" and "here", on the same car, with approximately the same load, the same driver was driving, traffic (in terms of intensity and mode) is almost the same. In September of this year, he stopped keeping statistics, tk. the curves were practically not actualized anymore - they stood still like nailed ones ... why, one wonders, wasting time?)
And now the conclusion is that in city mode it is more economical to drive on 92nd gasoline, and outside the city on 95th. For example, on 92nd gasoline, the minimum gasoline consumption is obtained at a speed of less than 70 km / h, and on 95th gasoline, at about 75 km / h. There was one staged super-economical race on the 95th, but I removed it from the statistics - it slightly underestimated the curve. Let it be so - so more objectively)
Thus, the confirmation of last year's calculation was obtained - 95 on the highway is more economical. Of course, the savings are insignificant, maybe even within the calculation error, but the trend is evident)
And some more personal statistics.
Today, with a mileage of 75,681 km, 6,531 liters of gasoline have been burned at an average consumption of 8.64 l / 100 km.
Of this amount, 95 gasoline - 3 266 liters, 92 - 3 318 liters,
Including by brands:
Lukoil - 1,388 l
Bashneft - 915L
Bashkirnefteproduct - 920L
Tatnefteproduct - 3 311 liters.
Recently, I moved to 92nd from Lukoil. All the same, 30 rubles for 95 is already an overkill of the psychological bar) By the way, 92 Lukoil was advised by an official in Ufa, arguing that after the purchase of Bashneft by AFK Sistema, the quality of Bashkir gasoline deteriorated (nothing personal, I just quote the words of a completely stranger))
Well, the choice in the direction of Lukoil was due to the fact that Lukoil declares its gasoline as Euro 5, and this is a different catalyst life)
By the way, I noticed that in Ufa there are always long queues at Lukoil gas stations. Unfortunately, that in Bashkiria, that in Tataria there is very little Lukoil - they do not let a competitor in)
These are the thoughts. Good luck to everyone and all the best!

Continuation of the topic Gasoline for Sandero, gas station (archive 1) (http: //www..php? T = 157)
But what kind of gasoline is better to fill in Sandero?
Gasoline expertise: from the southern mountains to the northern seas (http://www.zr.ru/a/459851/)
I read various information on the internet: where only 95 is written, where 93-95. If you can fill in different ones, which one is preferable?
In Vaz2105 I poured 93 on TNK. Anyone pouring 95 into TNK, how is he there?
The Sandero manual (http://www.renault.ru/media/sandero/att00224630/sandero_manual.zip) from the official Renault website (http://renault.ru) lists only 95 for permanent use, gasoline with less or high octane only for a short time.

Continuation of the topic Gasoline for Sandero, gas station (archive 1) (http: //www..php? T = 157)
[B] In Vaz2105 I poured 93 on TNK. Anyone pouring 95 into TNK, how is he there?
I fill 95th gasoline at TNK all the time. I don’t refuel at other gas stations. The car ran just over 10000 km. IMHO everything is fine.
07.09.2013, 00:37
On the hatch there is a sticker 92-98. In the manual - 98, in the absence of it, 92 or 98 are allowed for a short time. Although from the very beginning I fill in 92 at Rosneft or at the local Oskolneftesnab (there is no TNK in the vicinity, I am not delighted with the quality and prices of Lukoil). So far, no troubles have been identified. The run has exceeded 25 tyk. IMHO-better normal 92 than badyazhnyy 95-relatives and continuers of the case of Vasily Alibabaevich have not yet died out.
07.09.2013, 08:09
On the hatch there is a sticker 91-95-98. Throughout my entire adult life, the car has been pouring Lukoilovsky 92 gasoline (it comes with us EURO-5), with small variations 92EKTO, 95 also from Lukoil. The typewriter likes gasoline, I do too. I am not planning to switch to something else (in the region there are still gas stations for Gazprom and Rosneft from large networks). Mileage for 60,000.
07.09.2013, 12:04
Gentlemen recently purchased StepWay, now pour 95 on the run-in! read on forums that basically all pour 92! My friend has already skated on Sandero for a year and says that Leu 95 and don’t worry! Your advice? Is it worth going to 92 after running in?
Thanks.
08.09.2013, 02:53
For the second year I have been pouring 92nd into my Sandera and I’m not too much in this part, but suddenly at my gas station I discovered that the 92nd turns out to be of two types. I am "that" still a motorist ...; people, can anyone explain - which of these two 92's to fill now?
First:
Gasoline Regular 92 TK eeFuel
Or the second one:
Gasoline Regular 92 (92 Euro) - without additive F2-21 eeFuel
:(??

I read somewhere (it seems to be an auto review) a study of the consumption of 92 and 95 gasolines with Solaris, Polosedan and Logan 16.16 cl. As a result, it turned out that there is practically no difference in cash consumption for Solaris and polishedan, but it is more profitable for Logan to drive 95 ... the difference in gasoline consumption covers the difference in price. Since then I calmed down and I only go to 95 TNK, Lukoil, Rosneft. Perhaps everything is not so for our other motors, but it is difficult not to notice the difference in dynamics.
08.09.2013, 18:17
I fill 92 sometimes 95 at Gazprom.
08.09.2013, 20:30
IMHO-better normal 92 than badyazhny 95
Is the "badyazhny" 92nd better than the 95th?

For sure! As well as the 92nd. But: "We can have anything! Whatever you want with us, it may not be!" (M. Zhvanetsky): - D
08.09.2013, 23:08
Due to the latest rise in the price of gasoline, I stopped refueling at Lukoil, filled a couple of tanks of 95th Tatneft .... noticed some strange sound, like rolling balls on a metal sheet. I refueled on Lukoil, too, 95th, the sound disappeared. And the smell of 95th on Lukoil I like more: -D: -D
10.09.2013, 09:16
5 years in Lada 111 lil 95th and did not know any problems. On the 92nd, the car pulled poorly. For Sandero, the first year was pouring 95th, as always I was refueling at Tatneft. A year and a half later, on TO-45000, I cleaned the injector. So it was recommended to me. Maybe they did, of course. But I agreed. And in the same place it was recommended to pour the 92nd and not bother. The machine went a little heavier, it became not so playful, although there were no changes in consumption. And since it takes me from 12.5 to 14.5 liters per day, a tangible plus is obtained for the benefit.
10.09.2013, 12:40
And in the same place it was recommended to pour the 92nd and not bother.
Well, of course, idiots write all sorts of recommendations on Renault! * List * But those guys who, according to your suspicions, took you to clean the injector, will obviously not advise bad things!: - x Now the injector will definitely be cleaner !! * JOKINGLY *

judging by the forum, the 92nd is "swallowed" by many Sandero.
It's clear! But after all, we ourselves swallow a lot of things, which is not useful for us!: - D
13.09.2013, 21:39
Initially, I fill in 95, mostly ecto Lukoil, I want to switch but Gazprom, which has recently been hauled by LUKOIL. A colleague on the steppe has already changed the nozzles under the guarantee of 2pcs. Then they refused a warranty replacement, changed at their own expense because of benzyl, he only refueled with Lukoil.
Interestingly, you can turn in a benz on your own for a check, no one knows and how much it will cost? Or how can you check its quality yourself, do we have chemists here?
16.09.2013, 09:08
the difference in gas mileage covers the difference in price
But with this I do not agree! More than a year left for the 95th. Now I have moved to 92nd. Let me explain. In connection with the transition to another job, I now have to get to work 85 km one way. This, who knows, is from Barybino to Odintsovo. The floor of the road is the Don highway, the floor of the Moscow Ring Road. Consumption of the 95th 12-14 liters. Consumption of the 92nd 12-14 liters. The driving style is the same. The only thing is that on the 95th the car will be a little sharper. The error in my calculations is minimal, because I always reset the computer on Monday morning and compare it on Sunday. So - the displacement will be the same.
Of course, I like driving on 95, but when the daily mileage is under 200, the difference in the cost of gasoline of 3 rubles plays a role.
Andrew 247
17.09.2013, 22:54
Serious observation, thanks! Indeed, in this situation, it makes sense to ride 92 ... maybe someday I will go to it, but not yet relevant ... I like the dynamics!
18.09.2013, 09:42
If you drive 95 with the dynamics of 92 gasoline, then there will be a real difference in fuel consumption in favor of 95, but for money there will be equality in the calculation of rubles / km.
The main thing is not to get carried away with the dynamics then the flow rate will please, but the overtaking ones will sadden.
I use 95 myself, I fit 3 thousand rubles into the monthly budget for gasoline.
18.09.2013, 14:22
I wish you good health, friends! All the time I flooded 92, mostly on BP (I like the service), but recently I switched to 95, and even improved. And quite recently it began to refuel at RosNeft. In this connection, the questions: 1) do you recommend RosNeft fuel (95- for)? 2) is it not harmful for the car to pour fuel "under the cap"? Thank you in advance! :)
Determined by that a specific gas station, where you constantly refuel because not all Rosneft filling stations (http://www.rosneft.ru/Downstream/fora/) are equally useful, especially for 95-Fora
2) is it not harmful for the car to pour fuel "under the cap"? ...
18.09.2013, 15:29
Thanks for the answer!
19.09.2013, 04:39
It is determined by that particular gas station at which you constantly refuel because not all Rosneft gas stations (http://www.rosneft.ru/Downstream/fora/) are equally useful, especially for 95-Fora
Harmful, otherwise our automaker would be very happy to declare on Logan / Sandero filling volume equal to the geometric capacity of TB, that is, 65 liters, and it is forced to be limited to safe 50 liters.
With what fright 65 liters?
19.09.2013, 11:00
With what fright 65 liters?
The tank to the eyeballs - from 52 to 55 liters - whoever is lucky ...
In this thread, this point is discussed in detail http: //www..php? T = 854
22.09.2013, 01:38
1) Gasoline Regular 92 TK eeFuel
2) Gasoline Regular 92 (92 Euro) - without additive F2-21 eeFuel
And the price for them, however, is different ... * very_sad *
22.09.2013, 02:03
So which of the two 92's to fill in Sandera?
Eh, I would have your problems ... 8-)
Try benz from LUKOIL for a change - it's simpler there;) You have a lot of them in the city (http://www.lukoil.ru/new/azslocator/?bounds=51.37348336515072,45.336009333007816,51.72 452298274885,46.983958551757794 & territoryid = r31)
Lew normal 92 (which is not "ecto") and go without any extra thoughts.
06.10.2013, 20:21
When I was picking up Sandero from a car dealership, I asked what gasoline was filled in and which one to use in operation. They said the 95th. I've been driving for three years and pouring the 95th Gazprom. There are no problems, nothing has changed and fuel system not cleaned, start up amazingly, all the rules.

The fuel filler flap indicates the recommended gasoline for a SPECIFIC (1.4 8V; 1.6 8V; 1.6 16V) engine installed.
Three brands are indicated on the hatch, only they do not have a specific connection to the engines, if you have not read the INSTRUCTIONS. 95th-recommended, 92nd and 98th-are acceptable, but for a short time (i.e. under any force majeure circumstances, such as absence at the gas station 95th) .And in your opinion, it turns out that the 16-valve should be fed 98m. And if there was 1.2l in the line of engines, it should have been stuffed with 80m?
The tank to the eyeballs - from 52 to 55 liters - whoever is lucky ...
The volume of the tank is indicated without taking into account the pipe (or hose) connecting the filler neck with the tank, and it may not be a bucket in it, but it will also fit pretty well. But in reality it contains about 57 liters, about 60 liters of Adam's apple (according to my rough measurements, if I'm wrong, correct , if someone exactly measured)
Look at the table - all presented cars are equipped with engines produced by the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The source of the given fuel data is the latest operating manuals.
There are many questions. For example, why is the 16-valve K4M engine developed by the alliance under the hood Lada largus requires AI-95, but in Almera, Logan and Sandero can work on AI-91? Moreover, Renault even allows short-term operation on gasoline with an octane rating of 87 according to the research method. There is no such variety in Russia, but a low-quality 92nd can get into the tank, with which the motor can at least cope with it.
The situation with domestically developed motors is no better. Not so long ago, VAZ had a unified technical policy - it was allowed to use "only unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 95". This position of engine developers is justified. It is difficult to accept, but understandable. Indeed, the best indicators of efficiency, environmental friendliness and throttle response are achieved with high-octane fuel. Plus the manufacturer's insurance against low-quality fuel in the regions. Electronic system control within reason will cope with the lowered octane number. Read it - it's a mess, if, instead of the 95th, the crooks flood the 92nd - nothing will happen to the engine. Allow officially the 92nd, and instead of it a mixture of 92 and 76 may get into the tank, and this is already fraught.
But new generation cars have appeared, and what do we see? For Vesta and XRAY with a VAZ-21129 engine, AI-92 is allowed, and for similar engines on Priora, Kalina and Grant under the VAZ-21127 index, only AI-95. Or, say, an eight-valve VAZ-11189 for Largus officially swallows the 92nd, and give the same Kalina VAZ-11186 motor only the 95th. With the wording, too, leapfrog: for technically identical Lada and Datsun, in one case it is allowed, in the other - it is recommended.
Moreover, the picture was curious - more expensive cars cheaper gasoline is allowed, and serve the most popular ones at a higher price. Nonsense? Undoubtedly!
Does anyone seriously believe that the owners inexpensive cars domestic production blindly follow instructions? Okay, more or less fresh 16-valve engines: here you can hide behind an argument - they were designed for high-octane fuel. But how to convince the owners that the dense motors of the classic family for Lada 4x4 and Chevrolet niva They cannot live without the 95th, and the eight-valve descendants of the reliable "eight" engine will start to break down on the 92nd? But the consumer understands perfectly well that when average annual mileage 12 thousand km and a difference in the price of fuel of three rubles per liter, on the 95th it will fly to exhaust pipe at least three thousand rubles more.
