Premium Petrol - Are you wasting your money?

Just thought would share some helpful info regarding Petrol/diesel - some issues I faced, and some pre-conceived notions I had.

The issue came about because I have been using Premium petrol for my vehicle (Fiat Palio), and on landing up at Mumbai, found that the nearest petrol bunk - privately run by my company - does not have premium petrol.

Did some googling and came up with some startling facts about the Premium fuels and current vehicles requirements in india. The Octane value recommended for most modern vehicle is Octane 88 (its mentioned in the car service booklet).

Post reading the article - I have decided to not money on Premium fuels.

Read these articles/threads - and decide for yourself!!
