Kopite Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Optimax, BP Ultimate, Esso SUL, Tesco 99 if you can find any. Not a good idea usin 95ron petrols on j-specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Optimax all day and everyday. my car doesnt feel 100% on 97RON such as BP ultimate or generic super unleaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 the ECU should retard timing if it needs to, so you'll just be running with less power by driving on regular unleaded (95ron), although it's commonly thought that J-Specs would not be safe on 95 ron, I can't see why considering this. I use Optimax where I can. There is quite a noticable difference between regular unleaded and super-unleaded on the turbo cars. Optimax is just another SUL as far as I'm concerned, but I do at least think that Shell petrol is probably reasonable quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I didnt think there was a difference but filled up with optimax today. use bp ultimate lots but nothing compares to optimax. worth the extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I can't seem to see any difference between the tesco 99 ron or optimax or BP ultimate or Esso super. Only 1 I do know my car doesn't like is sainsburies Super. It only dets on that if you beast it up to 1.2 bar for more than a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I've had to put 20 quids worth of total 97 ron in mine to get me around, car doesnt like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Really thats weird mine doesn't mind sainsburies SUL until you boot it and mines pushing a lot of horses. That said mine is running water injection. Now when that aint working you know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 remember to fuel up before motorways where possible. it will be over the £1 a litre at services. tt steve. £1.09 at services today and I think (maybe I was seeing wrong) it was £1.009 at the Esso in Altrincham. First time I've seen more than 2 digits after the dot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
