- 2011 VE SV6 COMMODORE
Hi guys, I used to be a revhead in another life. For the past 15 years just been running bog stock v6 commodores.
I currently have a VE SV6 that is an everyday driver and without going silly am just after a little more poke and throttle response.
I have booked in for an OTRCAI and a custom tune.
It sounds like the gains I can expect are pretty much what I am after.
One thing the tuner asked me is what RON I run it on. Being a daily driver I have always put the cheapest in it, being U91. He said tuning and running it on U98 will get the best gains, obviously. Not sure if I am comfortable with paying an extra 20 cents a litre or not over the U91. I am not afterall after the most I can get out of it powerwise if the extra fuel cost burns a hole in my wallet, not sure.
I thought maybe U95 would be a good middle ground compromise.
Having only ever filled it with U91 have not looked at others, is U95 as widely available as 91 and 98?
Anyway, I am very undecided about which RON to get it tuned for and then run the car on.
Looking for advice from those more knowledgeable about these things.
Cheers
