hi, guys!
i'm currently using 95octane/Special on my 2013 Kia Optima.
i just want to know if it's safe to use Adnoc's 91octane/e-plus gasoline on my car.
hope to hear your feedback.

I didn't notice the names, but I just know there is either 'Special' which is the normal one most people use. or there's 'Super' which is more expensive, I'd guess its better quality.
(expensive as in you would spend 15dhs to fill 10dhs worh of gas)

But its safe to put either one. just don't mix it in same tank, if you plan to switch to super.. use up all the fuel until its empty and then fill.

Why not mix, i dont see the problem in that. Higher octane is basically anti knock additive. If your car does not say Premium gasoline dont bother wasting your money on super. Heck here in US premium gasoline is 91 octane i use on my Lexus. Some states give 93 or 94 nothing over that. People here even use 87 octane. Using E-Plus wont cause no harm in anything. Lesser gas mileage because lower BTU i think, other than that no problems, use it without fear it wont harm nothing on your motor.

no its not that expensive
special is 1.79 and super is 1.82, it wont make that big of a difference untill you fill the whole tank

^^ must be your driving style. higher octane burns slower and lower octane burns a little faster.
But the difference is hard to notice.

Be happy you're not paying 4dhs per liter like me in Thailand. Follow the recommend octane rating for your car engine. Lower octane for shitty performance or higher octane for expensive exhaust.
