to the catalytic converter, a reduction in
engine power/torque and increase in fuel

If a lower grade of fuel is used, an engine knocking noise
may occur, please use the recommended or above grade
gasoline as soon as possible. If the engine knocking noise
is still noticeable after using the recommended or above
grade fuel, please contact an MG Authorised Repairer

gasoline is higher than that required by the engine, but
it is not advantageous for engine output power and fuel
consumption.
