PTR_NITRO_FG Donating Members 3,214 Member For: 11y 4m Gender: Male Location: NOR Perth Posted 12/03/14 05:03 AM Share Posted 12/03/14 05:03 AM "using higher octane fuel in an engine designed for lower octane simply wastes money and can result in less complete combustion, resulting in lower fuel milage"Is that actually true? Or does it not apply to high performance/turbo vehicles?So am I wasting my time putting in 98 (V Power) or sometimes P100 because my car is still stock? isn't stock FG XR6T supposed to be 95RON (or even 91RON I think it might say in the manual?)I definitely feel a slight effect (maybe placebo effect?) sometimes when using P100 on my untuned car....unless its all in my head?? hahah but it does feel like it revs a little easier.....

ECU/knock sensors will detect the fuel over time and adjust accordingly, to some degree. Edited 12/03/14 05:38 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably just stick to the 98 cause I get an extra 30kms per tank that way lolBut once its tuned Ill prob go for P100 so I can crack 300 with my limited mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky I've only done it 2 times I just assumed it would be like when you put e10 in instead of normal unleaded (which they advertised as equivalent to 95 RON)....or is that bad as well???They publicly said on news and stuff that its fine to substitute e10 for 95...but was that just lies? Been using it for a while in the gf's laser lol hope I haven't done too much damage :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
