jimmy1280 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I've been using Esso 97 since I've had my Z, is this correct or a higher octane or better quality with more additives like shell ect more recommended?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Use the search facility..This has been done to death on here.. or better still look inside your fuel filler cap and put in what it recommends there.. :surrender: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Super unleaded fuel ~ end of. What you are using will be fine. Personally I try to use Shell V-Power Nitro whenever possible but also occasionally use Texaco 97 Super unleaded as the garage is more local to me.

mouthwash Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I've been using Esso 97 since I've had my Z, is this correct or a higher octane or better quality with more additives like shell ect more recommended?? I personally put Tesco 99 in my car but I'm sure what you're putting in will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you're worried or going somewhere remote, stick a botle of octane booster in one of the cubbies. You never know when you might find yourself north of Fort William 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not sure, you ask, seems reasonable enough to me Got to agree with this. And also the search facility on the forum is useless - never comes up with anything I am looking for when I use it. Also, it`s usually Tesco`s Momentum for me as they`re all over the place and cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy1280 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hey thanks guys it's good to know I'm doing the right thing :-) I do a lot of work for Total petrochemical refinery and my contacts once told me how many companies they supply with the same fuel that we all consider to be different, it's a real eye opener but it's clear that the higher octane is a must and thanks to everyone who has replied .
