question from Moscow
Greetings to all! I'm waiting for my Caliber 1.8 SE and on next week I’ll have it, but I have one question to Caliber owners. Here (in Russia) no one exept dealers can't answer me what fuel use this engine. Premium, (our 95) Regular (our 92). i know this sound silly but it is... [

Welcome!!! I would have thought that you'll be fine with Regular fuel. I've been told that only high performance cars benefit from Premium petrol. Is there much difference in price betwen the 2 grades? It's about another 5% here.

RE: question from Moscow
Thanks for advise!!
we have 5-6% difference in price here. But big problem with quality of Premium petrol too many gas station add to regular petrol some additives and sell it like Premium. Result is: broken engine [&:]

On this side of the Atlantic, hehehe, the Caliber is designed for regular gas, 87 or 89 octane, and since all Calibers are manufactured in good old Belevidere, Illinois, USA, I would think that gasoline versions use Regular gas.

RE: question from Moscow
92... 87.. 89.. octane..
here in Portugal.. and I guess in the rest of Europe too...
there is no such "petrol"...
only 95, 98 and 100 (premium)...
I guess that 95 will be the "best choice"...

here the 100 octane cost 1,50€/LT... [:@]

RE: question from Moscow
As far as I know, your Octane ratings in Europe are different as well (the way it is measured)...?
Research Octane Number (RON) vs. Motor Octane Number (MON)?
Is that right- Tundra, can you confirm perhaps?
