adef Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Ok I went to refill my tank today and I decied to fillup Esso supreme (rated 97 at pump). Two things I notice instantly I stepped on the gas was (1), throttle response was better than with optimax. (2), car casted longer as well. so I thought, hum.. its my imagination running wild. so I up the boost a bit to 15 psi from my normal drive setting of 8psi. And mine-o-mine, the turbo spoolup was nothing like I have ever felt before. Mind you I have ran 18psi before so I definately know that my mind was not tricking me. Anyone ever tried the Esso supreme? Quote
Yowser Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Is that a new fuel from Esso ? Have beed forced into using small amounts of Super unleaded (97 ron) from various garages a couple of times, and it definatly underperforms compared to Optimax. Quote
takemetothepub Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Forgive me if i'm wrong, but you shouldn’t feel any difference at all between optimax/super and normal. It will only have more resistance to detonation I thought? Quote

It will only have more resistance to detonation I thought? no, definatly feel difference (hence their advertising claims for more throttle response and power too.) Have always felt a noticable difference in all the performance cars (turbo and non-turbo) I have had. As well as Better MPG. Quote

FASTREDZ Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 is esso supreme good to stop detonation too like the optimax?? Quote
viniboy Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 optimax deffo puts a spark (excuse the pun) in my car. Esso have just started to advertise their all new improved super unleaded. Quote
adef Posted October 19, 2005 Author Posted October 19, 2005 This is Esso supreme not the old super unleaded. I used to think optimax hold the cards but definately not after last night (well as far my car is concerned). Quote
