Good morning! My hybrid Swift recommends using unleaded 95 Octane fuel, but my nearby petrol stations only sell either 91 or 98. One of these, Gull Petrol, has 98 fuel cheaper than other 95 octane options (far-away). It contains 10% ethanol though.
Is this Gull 98 option good/safe to choose?

Thanks very much

Hello you will be able to use Gull 98 octane in place of 95 octane as it exceeds the octane requirements.
