Hi, what fuel type is best for a Nissan Terrano 1995 VG30E petrol 3L engine ?
I dont mind spending extra if it means the truck runs better and has better economy,
just want to know what fuels best, 91,95 or 98 ?

Thanks !

My research would indicate this engine has a reasonably low compression ratio (9.0:1) which would allow for the low octane 91 fuel to be used.

thanks for that, however would it still be ok to use premium fuel ? would it damage the engine ?

Yes, no problem at all using a higher octane fuel apart from the increase in price.
