Fuel Octane

I have a V8 D3 and I have been using 98 octane but it is getting quite expensive (±$1.45/litre) Crying or Very sad Is there any benefit in using 98 octane instead of the Premium 95 octane fuel which costs substantially less (± $1.30).

Any advice would be welcome Thumbs Up D3 2005 HSE V8 model, snorkel, nudge bar, uprated tow hitch (12T), Goodyear Wrangler MTR (MT) tyres, National Luna battery box, Outback roof-rack, Takla seat covers.

They're huge differences in price for your 98 vs 95 ............ it's 4c here.
I've always use 98 in all petrol equipment ,since it
first became available . It's the rating of old lead super.
You can tell the difference in cars , but not a 2500kg
4x4 . Is the the cost per year going to matter really?
If you do down-grade , then don't mix and match at
the whim of price bacause the anti-knock sensor won't
like it .

Hi Neil

I have just checked FuelWatch and the difference at my local petrol station is only 5 cents today. Maybe you are right and I should just use 98RON Whistle
