Excuse me, my friend, but the question is not about using Special 95 or Super 98, but about what your car expects specifically. In the United Arab Emirates, the vast majority of GCC-spec vehicles designed for regular gasoline are specified to use 95 RON (Special 95) to achieve optimal performance and fuel economy. The use of Super 98 (98 RON) in these engines often does not provide any measurable benefit in terms of power or efficiency, but it does increase the cost of operation. According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure in the UAE, the average consumption of gasoline cars in local driving conditions is about 9-11 km/l. If we take a popular car like the Nissan Patrol taxi with a V6 engine that uses Special 95, with an average consumption of 7 km/l in Dubai traffic and a price difference of about 0.25 AED/l between the two fuel types according to monthly updates from the Central Bank of the UAE, using Super 98 leads to an additional unnecessary cost of approximately 15-20 AED per full tank. The total cost of ownership (TCO) for a typical family car like a Toyota Camry driving 25,000 km per year is directly affected by this unnecessary choice. For high-performance sports cars or some European turbocharged models, the manufacturer may require 98 RON, and this is clearly stated in the owner's manual. The final decision is simple: check the fuel cap label or the first pages of your vehicle's manual. The GCC-spec Ford Territory, for example, explicitly states "95 RON" on the fuel cap. If it says 95, stick to Special 95 and save your money for something else.
