What Does A T Drink?

[GlennAUII]

just wondering, what type of fuel is the T supposed to have? We have a fuel card so PULP is no prob. Should it take PULP?

[aniken]

It will run on unleaded, premium unleaded, or premium-premium fuels such as Optimax. It goes better with Optimax, no doubt in my mind.

Make sure the fuel card is programmed to allow you to get Optimax (or equivalent fuel from Caltex, Mobil and the like)!

I always put BP ultimate in mine, but that is because I have a BP card and figure why not.

I use Optimax, but IMO, it doesn't make it go any better that regular unleaded. Optimax might be cleaner though.

Yeah it's a BP card and we can use any fuel we like on it. A few guys at dads work have XR8's and they all use premium.

I have been using exclusively Optimax for the past dozen tanks or so and feel I have noticed an improvement in performance. When I used to buy whatever petrol (PULP) was closest I used to notice more fluctuation in performance, one day it would be a jet and the next a slug. It could just be the engine is loosening up though.

Ithought ony GTs needed PULP and that Xr8s were normal ULP?

Im personally using BP Ultimate. My XR8 used to like Optimax, but I heard they changed the fuel a bit and its not as good as when it came out.

[GlennAUII]

nope, as far as I know the AU XR8 needed pulp, so presumedly the same with the ba

Naa, XR8 runs on std unleaded (says so in our manuals and on the FMC web site).

I use Optimax at the moment, but did use Caltex vortex. No real noticable difference, yet. Will see what happens.

In the Pulsar SSS I used to have you could easily tell if it had normal unleaded or PUP. With the premium it was very responsive and wanted to rev its nuts out etc. With the normal unleaded was a bloody sluggish slug.
