Mini Cooper Diesel Cars Premium gas for 07 Mini Cooper?
I just bought a 2007 Mini which calls for Premium gas. I've always just used reg unleaded in past cars. My first stop at a station stumped me. There was no indicator for "premium". There were 3 choices, one being reg unleaded of course (I cannot recall how the other 2 were worded now but there were 2 more and none were diesel so please do not suggest that). There were 3 options however. I assume one was a mid range premium. Is that acceptable or do I have to use the 3rd most expensive premium gas? The cost was 20 cents more! Thoughts?
Ahhh, look for the octane level. Of course! Great answers thus far, thanks~
I just bought a lexus, so I had this question as well.Yes, they're usually ordered left to right, and the different levels just refer to the octane level. You'll see a number, like 87, 89, 91 or something like that. The higher the number = the increase in grade and thus increase in price. So if they call it "premium" somewhere, and "super cool" somewhere else, the octane level is probably the same or about the same. If you check your manual, it should tell you what octane level is best for your car. If it says, for example, 90 and the gas station only has 89 and 91, you could hypothetically put half a tank of 89 and half a tank of 91 and it will be a full tank of 90.
Anyway, on to where I had to actually refer to my grandfather who's an auto-mechanic, a consumer reports magazine, and my own personal knowledge as a chemist...
Why is it necessary to use premium if it says premium? Your manual should say "Premium required" or "Premium recommended". These are two different things. An engine that necessitates premium fuel has a cylinder ratio that's smaller and thus a higher octane gas will burn faster. To put it simply, when you put gasoline in the cylinder chamber it gets ignited. If the octane level is correct, it'll only burn long enough to push the piston and get the engine moving. If you get one that's too low, the gas will burn longer, or not burn completely, and will cause what they refer to as a "Ping" or pre-ignition. It will make a pinging sound. Conversely, if you put a higher octane gas than is recommended, you'll get no benefit except that you paid more for your gas. The pings are unhealthy for the livelihood of your engine.
As an addendum to something I wrote earlier, if your manual says that premium is recommended (not required), then you could very well put mid grade without much threat.

Mini Cooper Diesel Review
What would be my best first Car?
I want my first car to economical, friendly to the environment, small and fun to drive. I'm considering :
MINI Cooper D
Fiat 500 (With a 1.3 16V Multi Jet Diesel Engine)
Which is Best (or any other car suggestions that are not more expensive then the Mini?
I'm assuming you're in Europe? I'd take the Fiat, unless you really love the Mini's styling. My dad here in the states bought a MINI cos he loved the styling. Then he got tired of it after a few months..
I do love the Fiat, though. Other options, Ford Fiesta, or if you're willing to pay a bit more, a BMW 118d. I also like the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky, but I'm not sure how much the European version, the Opel GT, costs.
