Hi

What type of fuel (91 or 95 or 98) should I use for my 2012 Mazda Axela 3 Sports 20 S 2.0L?

Thank you.

Hi there,
Your car would be designed to use 91 octane fuel.

Thanks Cade for your fast reply.

Does it mean I should use 91 octane for my car? Do you think it would be beneficial to use 95 or onwards?

Also I would kindly appreciate if you can let me know the source of your information. I wish to know more about my car so your information will definitely help me understand it more.

Many thanks.

Hi,
Yes I would use 91, you can use higher octane but you would see minimal gains.
The information I have is not accessable for general use. You may need to google your car to find out information, and may require a bit of searching.
