I believe the price here for a liter is now $1.50 x 41/2 = $ 6.75 a imperial gallon.
Is ever going to end???
I agree with others on using the highest octane, thats what the manual calls for.
$8? That is terrible! I use 89 octane and mine seems to run just fine on it. No knocking etc. I have a 2008 Smartie.
i used unleaded 95 in my former 451mhd. In Denmark we have 92, 95 and 98 to choose from.
One liter 95 cost about 12 danish kroner, witch is about 8 us-dollar for a gallon :O
Today i drive a smart passion convertible cdi (turbodiesel)
Why would you want to use a gasoline quality that is other than what is specified in your owners manual?
Could damage catalytic converter
I thought the same why high octane gas but I am worried the engine may not run as good with lower octane. I find the difference in price is not a big deal for so little amount of gas it takes to fill up if the engine requires it then I will keep it…
I didnt worry much about it. Wth the MPG i get, the difference in a fill up is not really significant to me. Not worth using cheaper gas if in the long run it is detrimental to the car.

It worked Dennis. Thank you ever so much. One of the wires was loose. You are the best. Thanks.
Open the hood use a flashlight looked down on the right-hand side and make sure both wires are plugged into the horn. If both wires are plugged into the horn chicks fuse box for possible bad fuse.
