Hi,
I was just wondering what octane fuel I should use in our vehicles?
I drive a 2007 Mazda Axela, and my wife drives a 2006 Toyota Wish. They are both Japanese imports.
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
Unfortunately it is pretty hard to locate information for most pre 2010 imported vehicles. It is quite common for most older non-European domestic imports to use 91 octane fuel, unless turbo or performance vehicles. 95 is the safe in-between fuel if exact information is unavailable, but you may need to confirm with the vehicle manufacturer if you are still unsure.
