Does low-quality fuel in Pakistan affect the Hyundai Tucson’s emission performance?

Many users believe that the regular unleaded fuel RON 87 o r lower available at most pumps in Pakistan negatively impacts the Tucson’s emission system and engine health. Is this true? Should users switch to high-octane HOBC fuel to improve emissions and overall performance?

Absolutely, low-quality fuel in Pakistan can significantly affect your Hyundai Tucson’s emission performance. Poor fuel often contains impurities and has inconsistent combustion properties, leading to incomplete burning in the engine. This causes higher emissions of harmful gases like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. It can also contribute to clogging of the catalytic converter and damage oxygen sensors, both of which are critical for controlling emissions. Using higher-quality fuel and regular maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s emission performance.
