Fuelling requirements

Hi all, i'm new to the forum. Appears to be a great resource to share the pain and pleasure of ownership.
Can anyone advise as to the types of petrol products that are suitable for use on the 370Z?

Hey mate, welcome to the forums!! You're best to use premium unleaded and try to avoid ethanol even though it says you can use it. I usually put in shell v power as it's a higher octane rating and doesn't contain any ethanol. I hear bp ultimate is also a good one too.

Welcome Robbie. Agree with evse, currently I use BP Ultimate and make sure u use a good engine oil too on your next oil change. Makes all the difference.
Unless u get ur hands on racing fuel or Japanese high octane petrol, stick with premium.

Just stick to the 98RON octane ones like Shell Vpower, Bp Ultimate, Mobil Synergy and the Vortex 98 stuff. Use 95 octane if you're stuck for supply but just don't fang it too hard. Avoid all cheap "discount" 91 octane crap from Safeway and the like as it'll detonate.

No idea about American fuel sorry.

OK thanks for the words of wisdom. I've just filled up with V-Power. Interestingly, i also checked my tyre pressure and found the pressure of the left rear to be very low, approx 160kpa. Dunno if it came out of the showroom like that or if i've got a slow puncture. Will check again tomorrow.
