One thing you may not be thinking of when you're shopping for a new car is what kind of gasoline you're going to use. Gas is gas, right? Actually, in some cases, the gas type in your Alfa Romeo car does matter quite a bit.
Here's what you need to know before you shop at Helfman Alfa Romeo of Houston.
Do I Need Premium Gasoline?
It is actually recommended that you use premium gasoline when you're driving an Alfa Romeo vehicle. Premium gas is any gasoline that has an octane rating of 91 or above. That octane rating is often conveniently and prominently displayed on the pump, so you don't have to worry about getting confused about which type of gas is which.
Yes, premium gasoline is more expensive, but there are many good reasons to use it. Let's talk about why you don't want to try and cut costs here.
What Happens When You Don't Use Premium Gasoline?
The main benefit of higher-octane gas is that helps prevent engine knock and ignition patterns that could end up harming your vehicle. What this means in practice is that it allows your engine to operate at peak performance levels safely, reducing your chances of running into a mechanical problem that requires a trip to our Alfa Romeo service center.
When you use premium gasoline, you're protecting your engine and other crucial car components from damage. You're also likely to see better fuel economy numbers, and you can be sure that you're getting everything that you can out of those high-horsepower engines found in our luxury vehicles.
