I wouldn’t want to run a car like a gt4 on anything other than super, even our Mini jcw gets the same treatment, it’s not only power that’s improved but economy also.Try and always fill with any super (E5) but the odd tank of 95 (E10) won’t hurt.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Apologies if this has been covered before but just wondering what people's preferences are for best fuel in their GT4's? Do people see any significant difference between standard unleaded vs. Shell V-Power for example? Clearly one can't always choose the fuel (especially in the middle of a Highlands road trip!) but interested to know what people think about the options?

I wouldn’t want to run a car like a gt4 on anything other than super, even our Mini jcw gets the same treatment, it’s not only power that’s improved but economy also.Try and always fill with any super (E5) but the odd tank of 95 (E10) won’t hurt. To be honest I have not seen much difference between all the super petrol I put in ie shell, Tesco, Sainsburys and Morrisons but I do notice the car feels lethargic on 95!

POST 3Original post

Almost always V-Power for me, Super Unleaded if no Shell nearby but I tend to refill early if I think I might be nowhere near one when empty. I don't use 95 RON ever.

POST 4Original post

if you live in the south of England, then Esso Supreme is actually 0% ethanol, so you get more petrol for your money.

POST 5Original post

I have never put 95 RON in any of my performance cars. V Power or Tesco Momentum 99 for me.

POST 6Original post

I thought 95RON was not recommended for the GT4 according to the handbook. Should be run on premium 98RON minimum?

POST 7Original post

It should say inside the fuel filler flap too, and I think you might be right.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks all for your replies - E5 it is then...

POST 9Original post

Armitage.Shanks said: I thought 95RON was not recommended for the GT4 according to the handbook. Should be run on premium 98RON minimum? 97 is the highest available in Ireland, mine doesn’t seem to mind. Even 97 is rare enough here.
