GTT fuel

[magnazan]

Currently running my GTT on BP Ultimate. TBH i didn't buy the car to worry about the cost of fuel and will likely stick with Ultimate but just wondering if there would be a noticable difference in running 95/6?

The reason i ask is that New World is crap and thats pretty much the only place close to get the fuel vouchers for BP from. However if running 95/6 from Shell ain't gonna be an issue then i'd be able to shop elsewhere.

I know ppl say run 98 cos it's high compression but 9:1 doesn't seem that high...

Comments?

9:1 is not really high if it was non turbo. But being turbo it makes it high for that application, as the resulting compression would be much higher than say 10:1 car.

[magnazan]

So is running anything lower than 98 going to cause issues? Surely can't be much difference between 98 and 96

[sergei]

it is 95 these days

[gleem]

yeh id stick to 98, they are designed to run on 100 in japan

[magnazan]

Sweet just thought i'd check

pak n save albany?

[magnazan]

To far really, if they ever build the one in wairau park though i'll shop there.

[solitaire]

i think there is one in wairau, but new world or someone is fighting it through the council... its been completed for ages but they cant get zoning consent as i understand it...

[magnazan]

Oh i thought it was supposed to be built on the corner near the Range Rover dealership can't remember seeing it - i do recall the local shops near there were moaning about them building it though. Pak n Save ftw though

[solitaire]

Pak n Save ftw though

Totally Dude Much prefer pak n save to the other places... they all seem so retail - my wife hates it though

That is the building. Progressive doesnt want foodstuffs to open up there.

Enough off topic anyway, as for running it on 98, its been done before without problems (i know Santa can't get 98 in taranaki) but if you can afford it i would still run on 98.

huge diffrence between 95 and 98. can tune at least another 30kw out of 98 on my 1.5L turbo. but, effects on a stock gtt i dunno. throw a detset on it.

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

dont ever run it on 91 whatever you do

[bbq1988]

i didnt feel any (seat of the pants) difference between fuels, but i prefer 98 because i prefer to use whats best for it.. i would get avgas if i could, itd love that! barring the o2 sensor and cat

[Santa'sBoostinSleigh]

i notice the difference in power and economy between 95 and 98
unfortunately 98 isnt available in the Naki

There won't be much, if any, difference unless you tune for higher octane fuel

arent gtt's tunned for 100 octane tho? 98 bust give it more go than 95

[barryogen]

My RunX(2zzge) runs fine on 98 and 96/5, but I get about 10% more milage by using 98.

91 - 360km
96/5 - 440km
98 - 490km

All from a 45L tank.

The Gtt will be different, but I'd imagine there will be a similar difference in fuel consumption.

Mine pinks real bad on 95, and pinks just a little on 98.

Use 98.
