Jacko Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 i do................... i have to travel at home to get shell stuff You could always use another super unleaded instead of shell. Something like Sainsburys super, at least its 98 octane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 You are mad! Really you should be using 97 plus in the 350, make it run so much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 You are mad! Really you should be using 97 plus in the 350, make it run so much better To be honest, i've ran on 95 at times...... (not for a long time) and you don't really notice the difference. THere is a % power output loss. its in one of the faqs, but will run ok on 95......

It'll never cause damage!! It's just that to get the most out of a sports car, they recommend you use a higher octane fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuey Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 i will try it and see if it goes any better........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 i will try it and see if it goes any better........ You will probably notice a more responsive pickup on throttle etc.... but will need a couple of tanks prob for the ECU to respond. Been lots of reviews in things like Evo as well, where certain Supers are better for different things, so might be worthwhile seeing the difference for a couple of tanks of optimax, Tescos, BP etc.....

monkfish Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Tesco super is 99RON (depending on which supermarket). That's what I've been putting in for the last 6 months. Not too expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Tesco super is 99RON (depending on which supermarket). That's what I've been putting in for the last 6 months. Not too expensive either.

Had this discussion with Jim (I think) a wee while back. He produced a list from somewhere that told you which Tesco branches stocked the 99RON.

Johnnybanjo Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I got to drive 400 miles in a Ferrari 550 at the weekend and the owner told me to use 95 ron. Admittedly it was an older car than the zed and a V12, but at over £100 to fill it up, I was happy to accept a little less on the performance front. That's a F430 and a 550 in 2 months, but the zed is still staying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I've used both in the type R and noticed absolutely no difference whatsoever in performance, even after consistently filling up with BP Ultimate several times in a row. I did get more miles out of it but not enough to make up for the extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
