250T fuel in New Zealand

[SiccyP]

Wondering what unleaded fuel I shold be using in my 250T. I've got a big 91 sticker on my fuel cap, but have been told I should switch to premium (95/98). Does anyone have any comments for me?

Cheers,

Regular grade gas is fine, unless you're getting pinging. In which case step up to the next level of octane.

can you elaborate on this pinging???

In New Zealand the jap spec cars are tuned for 100 RON. 91 Octane in NZ usually works fine, but sometimes they have to up it to 93/94.

They work fine on 91, but if anyone came anywhere near me with the green handle I'd give them two black eyes. V-power or Synergy 8000 for my EJ20E :cool: You'll get more out of it on V-power, which isn't as exorbitantly expensive as 98.

Shale?? That you?? Lol!! I run BP 98 Octane in my 250T which does seem to get her off her arse quite nicely but will use Shells V power at a pinch...$105 for a tank of 98-oweeeee!!! :smt022

Lol nah not me... :smt005

I don't put that vomit near either of my cars unless my options include diesel and water...I'm hard-pressed to choose 91 or BP 98. My car HAAAATES it...and Frank doesn't get the stuff either. (But this is just me...)
