E+ has 91 octane which is not meant for all cars. Usually american cars can run with 87 octane, but german cars needs more, some will say 95 and some needs 97, you have to look at the car's manual. I know someone who has a BMW and used E+, it caused serious damage to his car and ended up paying 4000 dhs to repair it.

I was watching a program on discovery the other day, they tested different cars with different octane levels and measured the output power with each car and each fuel type.

It was noticed that as octane level increases, the output power increases, some cars showed a difference of 15 BHP between the highest and lowest octane.

I use 97 octane on my turbo patrol because it is programmed to use 97 to get better power results.
The jeeper is back.
