yes, euro rating covers many things but mainly focuses on emissions, the higher the euro grade the less emissions it produces.
while emissions are good for enviroment, what does it mean for your engine?
take one category that euro grading focuses on : sulphur content.
sulphur in the fuel when combusted produces sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide when mixed with water produces sulphuric acid. This acid is what we call 'acid rain' in environmental terms. Now this sulphur dioxide also mixes with the water in your engine, water that comes from the air and as by product of combustion. Because no engine is 100% sealed in the combustion chamber this acid eventually gets into your engine oil and starts degrading it. Since you cant see or feel its effects you normally dont care about it, but it's there and it's eating away at stuff inside your engine
so. Euro 3-4 fuels are good for any engine, not just for the enviroment
