Nothing is more expensive than a liter of cheap fuel

Be aware of stations that offer fuel with values well below the market average, as it is a guarantee of tampering that will detonate your car

Your car has suddenly increased fuel consumption, lost performance, the idle speed is irregular, the injection light has accidentally come on, you have probably fueled or are filling up with adulterated fuel.

SEE ALSO:

Both gasoline and ethanol or diesel can receive illegal mixtures that affect the short and long term, because in addition to the increase in consumption, there is a formation of waste, electronic sensors are impaired, the fuel pump, nozzles, spark plugs and even catalytic converter can represent a considerable loss in the pocket.

Avoid the low price, supply taxes from well-known brands that have quality control, from the distributor itself.
