sonata 2011 euro fuels
Hi there,
I just bought sonata 2011 2.4 limited from usa. I'm living in Lithuania and the question is: can I pour E98 fuels o just E95? Thank you. |
Your Sonata is designed to run on a minumum of 87 octane based on the (RON+MON)/2 method of rating octane. In Europe, that is 92 RON octane.
US - Europe 87 - 92 (regular) 89 - 95 (mid grade) 91 - 98 (premium) So you can use 92 RON octane fuel. Anything more than that is a waste of money. |

That doesn't make sense. Do you mean Ethanol when you say E98?
|
yep, Ethanol. But I think you're right.
Another question. In my sonata is 17" rims, if I put 18" rims in that model like in SE models do not compromise that to chassis? (sorry for my bad english :) ) |
Okay, I'm not sure about using 98% Ethanol in the Sonata. I'd stick with E95. You'll get better fuel economy with the lower ethanol percentage.
18" wheels won't upset the chassis. I installed 18" wheels on my Tucson that originally came with 16" wheels. Just be sure the overall tire height is the same. For example, I went from 235/60-16 tires to 235/50-18 tires when I swapped the 16" wheels for 18" wheels. That kept the overall tire height the same. |
higher gas octane better mpg |
