If the engine has been modified to benefit from high octane fuel then you
should get more power from the expensive fuel.
If you have a stock engine that doesn't require PULP then I beleive it is a waste
of money buying the premium fuel. |
Depends on car to car. I have to admit.. im a cheapass student who is looks at his finances alot. At the start of April, i started to track my petrol spending with normal 91. After much convincing from OMC, i decided to trial PULP 98 for a month to see the results. I have a spreadsheet to track my progress.
I found that the first tank, i got TERRIBLE economy! Around 10.3L/100kms, but i gave it 3 weeks, and now, the car is much more economical.
With 91, the best i could get was around 9.4L/100kms. Now, the car is averaging around 8.2L/100kms
*i ALWAYS fill up at shell, so i used 91 form shell before, and now i use V-power. I might try BP ultimate to really see the difference but i doubt there is
A car may not be tuned to used PULP98 and it may seem like a waste of money, but its around 3~5 dollars every week. Just test it out and if it benefits your economy, GREAT, if its the same as 91, then go back to 91. Its all about doing your own testing. Every car is different
