Default What kind of gas?? and How many KM's??

Alright, so I'm just curious as to know what kind of gas everyone uses in their Z and How many KM's they get on a tank of regular driving, and aggressive drive.

Mine is
Gas: ONLY SUNOCO 94, Well now it's PETRO 94 Octane
Regular Driving Km's: About 550
Aggressive Driving Km's: About 450

Off the bat I lose about 100km's for letting it rip a few times.

Damn where have I been, when did Petro Canada get 94 Octane???

I usually only use 94 from Sunoco, or if I'm in a jam 91 from Shell. I get about the same gas mileage as you.

SUNCOR (Sunoco) actually bought over Petro Canada recently, so they are now renovating all the Sunoco's to Petro Canada stations . But some stations that are already Petro are already carrying the 94 octane. Eventually all of them will have the 94!

Amazing news for me, I am constantly on the hunt for Sunoco stations when I need to fill up

I normally use Shell Gold because of Air Miles but use Sunoco 94 as much as possible. I usually average about 500km's per fill up.

tuned for ultra 94.

500+ kms a tank, mostly 'city' driving...

how are you guys averaging as bad as me in DEs? HRs are crazy gas hogs. Shift at 2.5-3k almost always in my city driving, coast alot... I drive pretty conservatively to get these #'s. I engine brake left right and center however lol.

If I get on it though... 13mpg. Might as well be boosted.

Just hit 720km when the light came on. This was driving up to tobermory and back last week, averaging around 90km/h with very few stops, passing etc, just sat on the cruise. If you play the 'gas mileage game', and actually try to sip the gas, you can do really well.


Normally I get closer to 500, mostly highway but pretty aggressive driving.


And I only use Shell 91. More octane does not always mean better

Yeah I usually go anywhere from 120-135 on regular highway driving, or even on road trips. RPM's usually between 2.5 and 3 cruisin at those speeds.
