How to Choose the Right Fuel for Your Vehicle
Selecting the correct fuel is essential for your engine’s performance, efficiency, and longevity. In Saudi Arabia:
- PG91 is suitable for most modern standard vehicles, offering reliable performance and fuel economy.
- PG95 is a premium-grade gasoline, recommended for high-performance or luxury vehicles with higher compression engines.
If you’re unsure which grade your vehicle requires:
- Check the owner’s manual — it will list the manufacturer’s recommended octane rating.
- Look inside the fuel door — many cars include a sticker indicating the correct fuel type.
- When in doubt, consult your dealer or vehicle manufacturer to avoid using a lower-grade fuel that could cause engine knock or reduce performance over time.
Using the right fuel ensures smooth operation, protects your engine, and optimizes fuel efficiency.
Learn about Octane Numbers
Gasoline grades like PG95 and PG91 refer to their Research Octane Number (RON) — 95 and 91, respectively. The octane number measures a fuel’s resistance to knocking, which occurs when fuel ignites prematurely in the engine’s cylinder.
Why Octane Matters:
- Higher octane fuels (like PG95) are designed for high-compression engines, often found in performance or luxury vehicles.
- These fuels can withstand more compression before detonating, preventing engine knock and improving efficiency.
Types of Octane Ratings:
- RON (Research Octane Number): Measured under milder engine conditions.
- MON (Motor Octane Number): Measured under more demanding conditions.
- The Anti-Knock Index (AKI), used in some countries (like the U.S.), is the average of RON and MON:
AKI = (RON + MON) / 2
How It’s Tested:
RON and MON are determined using special test engines with adjustable compression ratios, comparing the knock behavior of the test fuel to standard reference fuels.
