silent21 Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Hello fellow G3 owner. I am wonder what is the lowest grade of gas that i can use in my 99 g3 with out doing damage. Also if anyone has had good luck with a particular manufacturer (mobile, Shell ect) i would like to know. Thanks in advance.
TurboGS300 Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Hey and Welcome, I use mobil premium with a fuel injector cleaner every other tank or so. The owners manual recomends 91 or higher, I believe. You don't really need to use a fuel injector cleaner with mobil gas as it has techron. The higher grades just have more techron. :P
dcfish Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I ALWAYS USE 92 , THAT IS WHAT BP HAS FOR THERE HIGH OCTANE HERE IN MN. Same station all the time , same octane , great results !!!!

Matthew_McNally Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 one thing good about the UK - easy access to quality go-juice :D only ever run Shell Optimax - minimum 98 RON B)
new big400 Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Does anyone know anything about running 110 race fuel?Ive heard of some guys mixing 50/50 with 94.Sounds Dangerous to me.

Anything higher than 93 in our cars is wasting money and resources. Higher octane fuels are for turbocharged and supercharged, or higher compression cars. Octane cools the combustion chamber therefore allowing more boost and preventing detonation. B) Too high an octane will actually hurt performance.
new big400 Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 i dont mean for daily driving.I have a gs 4 w/a ton of mods and havent had a chance to try it yet but I will.My buddy runs it at the track in his 96 Cobra and swears by it.Also I thought these cars were higher compression.By the way I spank that Cobra everytime we race and its not sloww.

The times will tell ya, if there is any benefit, which I don't think you're going to see. :P
