Big Al 757 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Have had mine 2 weeks now, still waiting for some nice weather to get some good pics up. So what fuel does everyone put in theirs? At the moment I'm on Shell Optimax. I read in the handbook that it has to be 98 Octane, so does that only limit us to Optimax, BP's premium, (can't remember what it's called), etc, etc?

Guest prescience Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 97 or 98 is ok well i use 97 at esso. if u stick 95 in, the ECU will adjust your timing but will not raise a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam's Z Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Nothing but Optimax for me... The car run's best on 97 RON plus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I think Optimax has a constituent injector cleaner too - which is all to the good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 cheapest 97 I can find most times, and every now and then a tankful of Optimax to clean up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Always Optimax for mine. There has been some comparison tests in the press and BP's gave slighty more power but Optimax was given the best vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I've used Tesco 99 Ron Super Unleaded since new, with the occasional tank of Optimax when no Tesco in the area. One of the Car Mags recently tested the Tesco Super, and came to the conclusion it was everything it should be. The manufacturers even said it has the same additives in it as Optimax. One note of caution: Spent a recent weekend in the Southport / Liverpool / Wirral area. In the Tescos up there the Super Unleaded seems to be only 97 Ron! Down sarf it seems to be 99.

eddmac Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Having said that, when the guys from the old site were over last year, i didnt notice any performance difference at all, in fact i thought my Z was fractionally quicker than others there, all of them were running optimax too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
