its better for the engine and the wear and tear on the engine many companies also allow ethanol or biofuels in their cars but not for high performance such as a GT or XR8 etc. I think a lot of it comes down to if they're tied up with fuel companies too so maybe a vested interest. As long as the car is regularly serviced and taken care of I don't see a problem with normal fuel as opposed to a high octane fuel being used in a car if you're unsure ask a mechanic for an unbiased opinion
