D4V3 GT4 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I HAVE ALWAYS PUT OPTIMAX OR THE BP STUFF IN MY Z UP UNTIL LAST WEEK THAT IS WHEN I WAS TEMPTED BY SAINSBURYS SUPER (LOADS CHEAPER) BUT HOW BAD ACTUALLY IS IT? I THINK THE PERFORMANCE MAY HAVE DIPPED BUT I CAN'T BE SURE. CAN ANYONE WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE FILL ME IN?? DAVE H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 94.9p for Tesco 100 RON. At a saving of £3.20 I'd rather have the extra horses ta very much. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 good enough for me tbh.... either Sainsbury's own or V Power once in a while for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam's Z Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 With the exception of Tesco most Supermarket fuels are full of shite! Why do you think they sell them so much cheaper??? Tests have proved how performance is reduced.... If you can't afford quality juice you can't afford the zed!!!

Baptist Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I really doubt their is much difference between each of the super unleaded's in real terms. Over 98 is only any use for FI, where it would give you slightly more protection against detonation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traktion Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Mine seems to run fine on just about anything... it just feels more sprightly and the revs seem more steady, the higher octane the stuff is I'm putting in it. Tbh, I've not noticed the difference between Shell branded stuff and super market stuff (apart from the cost of course! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Ive had 2 tanks of V-Power in mine followed by the current tank of Sainsburys Super, as I needed to fill up and no shell garages were nearby. I know I shouldnt really be able to tell a difference, but I am convinced that it doesnt feel as eager on the current tank, especially in the higher ranges of 5-7k where it now feels flatter. Plus the fact I couldnt out drag a Focus ST the other day (mind you I think it was chipped as it had stickers all over it - well I hope it was!) Back to V-Power from now on I think.

Baptist Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Those ST's with basic power upgrades will pull from a zed, they are quick. Basic remap yields nearly 300lb/ft of torque and about 270bhp!!!!!! Still a focus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Still a focus though. Yep. That's what I thought! Drove one before I bought the Zed and it just didnt feel special. Not that different in looks from my mates TDi apart from some tacky styling bits. Lambo wheels are quite nice tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basic remap yields nearly 300lb/ft of torque and about 270bhp!!!!!!Still a focus though. Aye there were a couple of upgrades reviewing in Evo this month. Think the Graham goode one was about 310bhp with over 300lb/ft or torque...... Its gotta shift thats for sure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptist Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 For cheap performance you cant go wrong, if you can get away with it being Ford. Its a good chassis, and a damn good proven engine (Volvo T5 lump), you can tune them very highly. Cant knock it for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
