Do not guess just because a label or color looks familiar.
What does Mogas 95 mean?
Mogas is motor gasoline. The 95 refers to the octane rating used locally. It is the standard gasoline you will commonly see, but CuracaoBound cannot determine which fuel your specific rental car requires.
If your rental paperwork or fuel door says diesel, use diesel. Putting the wrong fuel in a car can cause serious damage.
