    Default one more question:),about fuel type

    The manufacturer's recomendation for ecotec is 91. Actuaaly, i always use 95. Does it have any difference?
    does 95 will make your car have more trip per tank?
    thx, mates.

    Your ecotec needs to be tuned to receive the best performance from a higher octane rating fuel.

    But you can be the best judge of that by experimenting.

    I've tried E10, 91,95,98 and 100 - a few months on each. The higher octane ratings felt like there was more power but I got less kays per Ltr so ended up going back to the stock 91.

    Each engine I've tried over the years gives different results. My old SAAB gained about 30% more power and 200kays extra per tank when I ran 98. Most Fords I had made no difference.

    Try each fuel type and also from different servo's if you can, try each one for a month so all the sensors can adjust. You might find a benefit from a particular brand and rating.

    local cars are tuned to run on 91 imports are tuned to run on 95 - 98 unless they are made for the OZ market
