Hi. I've just purchased an imported Nissan Elgrand Rider Autech, 2007. I looked online and it appears it can run on 91. But when i translated the message inside the fuel cap it says 'premium'. So should i go for 98?
many thanks
PS We also got a 2005 Ford Escape. Is that 91?
cheers

Hi there,
I can't see the specs for the Elgrand (and most other Japanese models), so it might be best to at least run it on 95-98.
The Ford Escape (NZ model) lists as being 91 octane compatible.
