How to choose the right fuel type for your specific vehicle needs

Have you ever stood at the pump, hesitating between different fuel types while a growing queue forms behind you? For many professionals and entrepreneurs, the daily choice for the right fuel goes far beyond a quick top-up—it directly impacts costs, performance, and environmental responsibility.

Why making the right fuel choice matters for your business

Selecting the right fuel type for your specific vehicle needs is not only a technical choice, but has tangible effects on your operational expenses and the reliability of your fleet. At Grenspoal, powered by Web Tech Studio, we understand that our clients—whether they drive delivery vans, agricultural machines, or executive cars—need tailored advice for sharper decision-making.

The main fuel types explained

To choose the right fuel type for your specific vehicle needs, it’s crucial to know the various options:

• Euro 95 & Euro 98: The familiar petrol variants. Euro 98 is often suitable for high-performance engines and vehicles requiring higher octane for optimal running.
• Diesel: Still indispensable for professional transport, delivery and agricultural vehicles, due to better fuel efficiency with heavier loads.
• AdBlue: A necessary additive for many modern diesel engines, helping reduce harmful emissions and meet environmental standards.
• LPG: An alternative for those seeking a more budget-friendly and greener solution.
• Petroleum & rode diesel: Ideal for specific agricultural machines and off-road vehicles; at Grenspoal, we supply affordable rode diesel especially for the agrarian sector.

How to choose the right fuel type for your specific vehicle needs

Every vehicle and business objective is unique. Entrepreneurs benefit from asking themselves several questions:

• What does the vehicle manufacturer recommend? This determines which fuel type best suits your engine, optimizing performance and avoiding unnecessary wear.
• What is the main use of your vehicle(s)? Delivery vans in urban areas may benefit from LPG or Euro 95, while tractors in the countryside rely more on diesel or rode diesel.
• How important are sustainability goals within your company? AdBlue and LPG, for example, can help you visibly reduce your ecological footprint.
• What are the long-term cost considerations? The choice for the right fuel type for your specific vehicle needs can structurally lower operational costs, especially if you make use of fleet discounts and our convenient business fuel card.

Examples from practice

Consider a logistics company near the Dutch border: switching a portion of their diesel fleet to Euro 98-powered vans for lighter routes provided both efficiency and cost advantages. Meanwhile, an agricultural business that switched to rode diesel via Grenspoal benefited from both price and tailored service.

Data and expertise behind your fuel choice

Research from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association shows that using the recommended fuel type can lead to a 5-10% improvement in engine efficiency. Additionally, according to the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure, AdBlue use has resulted in up to 90% fewer harmful nitrogen oxide emissions in heavy vehicles.

“We see that entrepreneurs who are proactively engaged in fuel choices not only achieve significant cost savings, but also realize their sustainability ambitions faster,” says one of our in-house mobility advisors at Grenspoal.
