Zhorno Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Ok so I seen a thread sumwere saying which fuel is best 95 or 99 or something, in all the past cars I've had I didn't need to use super unleaded , so what's best for the z cus I haven't put fuel in yet I had a free half a tank to my suprise Like is tesco is "momentum " is that just the same @*!# with a different name I know this probly sounds so stupid to people who have had a zed years lol Quote
Ridz Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Always use super unleaded. Most dedicated Zed owners opt for the premium brands such as Shell or BP because of the additional fuel additives, but the Tesco Momentum is also favoured. 1 Quote
WhackyWill Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Read the thread on here about the damage to Zed engines from 95 octane fuel. Then you will put in 98 / 99...I only use Momentium 99 from Tesco... :thumbs: Quote
Zhorno Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Well I ushally go tesco so ill just stick with that, what's the Difference between like 99 and 95 , think what's what I read someone did put a picture of sumthing in there engine ****ed and said don't use this fuel but can't remember what 1 lol Quote
Zhorno Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Does it say on the pump like 98/99 iv never look to notice before ? All I seen is like v power or momentum and @*!# Quote
hensh65 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I wasn't fussed until I read the topic on the damage and now its only Shell V-power that goes in now However you never said what Zed you have,,, if you have an HR then any will do Quote
Will370z Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Lots and lots of threads on the forum about this question Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Not again............ Any super unleaded will do. 97 or above as it says in the owners manual, the fuel filler cap and on about a thousand other threads on here. 2 Quote
370Ad Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Use 97 ron or more (Super/Ultimate/Nitro), the rest is personal preference. If you use 95 you will lose power, potentially damage the engine and be beaten to death on here 2 Quote
GMballistic Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Imo ~ All high performance/sports cars = Super Unleaded & nothing else. Quote
DaddyCee Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 super unleaded from J. Sainsburys for me. Quote
bamdc2 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 its a performance car so it deserves super. I wouldnt skimp on running an engine like the zeds on low grade fuel. Quote
spursmaddave Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 A tiny amount of cars have had problems, I am sure a lot are run on 95 with little effect but for the sake of the few pence difference it is not worth the risk, anything 97 or above i.e. anything called Super will be absolutely fine Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP Quote
Wendy Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 You do get better performance and fuel economy from Super too. Have been able to prove this numerous times in my Corrado AS to what the actual difference between 95 and 99, someone techi will have to answer that. Quote

gstraw Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Get an uprev so you can safely run 95 fuel. Runnin 95 over 99 costs me an extra £1 a day for the commute to work so in 1.5 years the up rev has paid for itself if I get it and safely run 95 Ron hahaha Quote

Grundy Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Wait I'm so confused....You've had your car what, at least 6months? You've lived off half a tank? I'm really confused... Quote

Runnin 95 over 99 costs me an extra £1 a day for the commute to work so in 1.5 years the up rev has paid for itself if I get it and safely run 95 Ron hahaha And it won't be as powerful as one which is stock run on 98ron. Really £1 a day? Do you treat your car as a budget car? Maybe you'd be better off with a Peugeot or something. Quote

Really £1 a day? Do you treat your car as a budget car? Maybe you'd be better off with a Peugeot or something. Not sure if the 370 is the same but I'm confident that it says something like 'super unleaded only' on the cap of the 350. Why ignore the advice? If you bought the car and can't afford the fuel then I'd suggest buying another car. 1 Quote
