hi! Just have a question regarding what gas will I use for my car. I heard that e10 fuel can damage my car? Is that true? Currently most of the fuel being sold here has e10. So far Im using petron blaze which has no e10 yet. Is blaze better that other premium gas?Any advise on what fuel to use for my car? Thanks!

Hi there,

E10 will be fine for your car, and foe added protection I suggest that you use an upper cylinder lube additive with each tank full of fuel, something like flash lube ore any over the counter additive will be fine.

To add to Mark's great advice:

It is Methanol you want to avoid, at ANY level.

Almost all cars from the mid-eighties on can run on E-10. Expect slightly lower mileage.
