SiriusProjects Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi All, Was reading a few posts regarding using 95 Ron in the 350Z. I don't put 95 Ron in my 350Z anyway, but was wondering if anyone knew if there was a handy app available which would show you petrol stations in an area and the types of fuel they sell. Would help if I am quite a distance from home and in an area I don't know, so I could easily find a garage in that area selling the type of fuel I want. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Any fuel that meets BS7800 will be fine. No app that I know of for everything, but it's not hard to figure out which pump is super and which isn't. Just keep a bottle of octane booster in the boot in case you ever get caught out (like in the wilderness in the highlands). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsniss350z Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The Shell website has a a map showing whereabouts their petrol stations are throughout the UK and i used to have a free app on my old Blackberry that gave prices and types of fuel on sale at most garages, unfortunately i can't recall the name of it the moment (it also gave names of cinemas, restaurants).

richmillions Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have What Gas Petrol Prices, it's free. It is not perfect but gives an idea if a petrol station has super unleaded or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'll have a look at that Petrol Prices Pro app too. Thanks zzzzz. Just go to the most expensive petrol pump and put that in, that will be the one dedicated to your Zed.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm yet to encounter a BP or Shell that doesn't have super, just stick to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Both shell and BP have an app, also tells you if they have a jet wash for emergency rinses or if they only got the paint stripper style car wash. If you venture north of Fort William, email Gleaner with your route and they'll tell you their stations with super along the way. Very friendly customer service. Edit: as per Dan above a couple of octane booster bottles fit nicely in the little cubbies in the rear.

KUGT4 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 you've got an 80 litre tank - thats plenty for most situations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrustyCrab Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Petrol prices pro app ? I haven't used it, I use the free petrolprices.com website when looking for the cheapest prices +1 petrolprices.com Been using it for a couple of years now. I think it's great especially as it shows you the cheapest around and you can set up email alerts for weekly updates etc. Good website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
