The 95-octane fuel, which represents the minimum octane standard permitted in Europe, continues to be a primary choice for many motorists. Distinguished by its lower density compared to diesel and 98-octane alternatives, it is considered a cleaner burning fuel. This option remains the standard recommendation for vehicles equipped with smaller displacement engines, balancing performance requirements with environmental considerations.
