98 petrol, which is more stable and resistant to ‘knocking’, is a better choice when it comes to engine protection. 95 petrol works as well, but if your engine is powerful, it will use higher pressures that 95 petrol may not be able to withstand. In the long run, 98 petrol wins out for engine protection.

Ethanol-free fuel doesn’t suffer from the moisture issues that pump gas does so it is unlikely that you’ll benefit from adding stabilizer unless you are storing it for more than six months.

Is premium fuel ethanol free?

Premium gas doesn’t provide any more power or contain better additives than regular gas, and it contains the same amount of ethanol as other grades.
