Hey fasbond,
Stick to 93.Octane 97 is for cars with higher compression ratios.Probably after u get a turbo fixed u can tank up on 97.
But for now try out 93.Its frickin good.

97 octane at bandra and gateway thats nice , last year had some major automotive companies come in and 2005 starts off with the availabilty of high octane fuel , now auto-manuf have only one excuse not to come to india and thts becoz of the roads here but im sure that will change too

looks like a good year ahead

hey guys i have a question ? one of my friend had advised me that if i am using 87oct then i must not use speed 91 or 93 . he told me that u must not keep switching over frm one to another always stick to one and i am using 87oct since then

X-Machine · 2nd January 2005, 21:38

Hey bhp,
That is not as much a problem.Just head to ur local mechanic with just very little fuel in the car,and ask him to drain and clean the fuel tank.Then start with Speed 91 or 93.And stay constant on one.

lamborghini · 2nd January 2005, 22:11

ey i never drained and cleaned my tank ...
i just started filling 91/93 octane on my cars

SLK · 2nd January 2005, 22:23

and i keep switching.... from 91 to 93 ... or 87..... no problems in last 15k kms.. at least.

GTO · 3rd January 2005, 09:55

I would suggest consistency in Octane levels while filling up. In my Vtec and Merc, its the Speed93 - religiously.

FYI guys speed 97 retails at around Rs.55 a litre...they as in BPCL plan to sell around 35-50 Kltrs this yr....they r looking for a major sale on the two days of the speed run!!

lamborghini · 7th January 2005, 19:11

55 bucks a litre .
thats steep
only worth buying if your car really needs it .
any effects in power or FE if i change to 97 oct in cars like palio and carb zen

i read thru all of the above but got no answer on where speed 97 is available or if it is recomended for our cars (esp city, RS etc..).
