Recommended Fuel for new Honda City ... HI-Octane | Normal | Mix?

[farhanshauket]

In your expert opinion which fuel is best for new Honda City MT 1.3 .... Hi Octane | Super | Mix .... Currently i am using Hi-Octane on someones recommendation but i am still confused as i have heard it dries up the engine and not good in the long term. Also the average i am gettin is between 11.5 - 12.5 on a very average foot. Please guide. Thanks alot

Any company operated fuel station should be fine, No need for Hi Octane unless knocking (unlikely on a new car) you can get away with the regular fuel unless you like throwing money away, Only turbo civics require hi octane.

When engine is not required hogh octane u dont need it. High octane average isnt good as well on my friends city he put it because it was on discount theough PSO digicash card.
He is never gonna put high octane ever.

Being in ownership of 2 citys 1.3 mt and 1.3 pt I would recommend a 30:70 mix of hobc (High octane) to normal fuel
It significantly reduces knocking and improves fuel economy aswell as acceleration
Keeping in mind that my MT city is 2012 and PT is 2016..
So unless the new upgraded ECU in city have heavy knock reduction software (which will reduce engine power but prevent knocking) these honda engines love to knock on bad fuel.
High octane does not dry an engine up.But use too much of it when your ecu is not tuned to run wholely solely on high octane the fuel economy and car performance will decrease.
Thats my opinion.
My MT has clocked around 120k km and PT 45k

I have tried hi octane in my 2016 city but it does not make any difference ...ulta consumption increase hojati ha...normal is fine

Hi Octane runs hotter and cleans up carbon deposits in the combustion chamber i.e; valves and piston. After that even the regular fuel wouldn't produce any knocking.

There is something wrong with your cars if it needs high octane to avoid knocking. I have countless cities in the family 2009, 2012, 2015, 2016, none of them need high octane, non of them have a knock or consumption issue

Use regular fuel, no need for high octane in a city

[murtazamohammad54]

Normal fuel is enough

I have used regular fuel in my City for past 8 years. No knocking or anything when accelerating. But I try to get fuel from a good and reliable petrol station to ensure good quality fuel.

What fuel average should city give on a normal pedal while using the regular fuel ???

[farhanshauket]

What is considered to be a normal fuel average for CITY MT on a regular fuel ???

[xenerking]

HOBC, is a blending compound, meant to be mixed with regular fuel for high compression engines.

Running City on HOBC is similar to feeding horse a beef steak...

anyways, still a 90:10 mixture wont hurt ur pocket and keep u satisfied

In Karachi with AC all the time and stop go traffic, I was getting 13.8-14.5. But just one trip to the airport would up that to 15+. In Rawalpindi, Islamabad I get upwards of 15+ quite easily. On a recent trip back from Karachi I achieved 18.5 between Karachi and Sukkur using AC and fully loaded car. Speed was always 80 or below as it was National Highway.

Variates according to your route and traffic encounter

No such thing as drying the engine. No basis to all these claims. Please check your owner's manual for the recommended RON value of fuel for your car.

Almost all locally assembled cars in Pakistan, whether new or old, require approx 91RON fuel. Doesn't matter if it's zero meter city or Grande or Civic Turbo RS. This requirement can be easily met by the regular or "premium" fuel sold at petrol stations since it is advertised as 92RON, given the fuel is unadulterated, and actually reflective of quality and RON value advertised.

95RON or 97RON fuels are mostly required by high-compression, forced-induction engines which we mostly see in imported vehicles like Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Pakistan. No need to pour this in Corolla, Civic, City, etc. whether zero-meter or old.
