I dont see why they wouldnt but a dude at ford before reckons the G6E is quicker?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way they should be line ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One particular knowledgeable salesman was crapping on about it being more aggressive TC/DSC. But they still make plenty of noise with the go pedal flat so his story sounds like poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 20y 1m 1d Posted 14/05/09 01:58 AM Share Posted 14/05/09 01:58 AM Has anyone seen any comparitive figures between a G6ET running on 98 Premium versus 91 unleaded.I know for the purists you would never consider running on 91 RON but Ford do state that it will run on 91 RON.BUT in saying that they do their performance figures running 98 RON.Just wondering what the loos of KWs would be on 91 RON.

I've had to use it on one occasion and the economy and performance was absolute crap, although I can't give you specifics as it wasn't a full tank. It could have just been due to the fact it was from a dodgy servo in the middle of f*cking nowhere that probably only cycles through it's fuel stock once every 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
