Sainsburys 97 octane super unleaded
Looks pretty obvious to me. The diseasale pump is black and petrol is green…

My local is a Shell with Little Waitrose attached...filling up gets quite expensive!MikeM wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 2:56 pmThink you’ll find any diesel pump should always be “Black” and yes it should be sourced from WaitroseMoriarty wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2024 2:37 pm I’ve been out of the country for many years and I hadn’t been to a Shell station for a long time. I went to one to refuel last week and found it a bit confusing that there were two V-Power nozzles on the same pump, both with the identical red, bubbly V-Power logo. Looking more carefully, one said diesel in small text under the logo and the other said petrol. Isn’t this an accident waiting to happen? Why would Shell make the diesel V-Power logo exactly the same as the petrol and not make it blue or something to distinguish it? It’s lucky that I triple-checked the nozzle before filling.
I guess everyone in the UK knows about this, but I didn’t.
By the way, is Sainsbury’s really a suitable place to refuel a Porsche? Shouldn’t it rather be Waitrose or M&S?

Perhaps obvious if you know that the UK uses these colours for pump handles. But as I said, I haven’t lived in the UK for a long time. I think the colouring is not standard internationally and the US, for example, has black for petrol and green for diesel - the exact opposite.
You will also find that the diesel nozzle is a larger diameter than the petrol one and will not fit in your fuel tank so prevents misfueling, obviously does not work the other way around though, as many have found out to their cost!Moriarty wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 11:28 amPerhaps obvious if you know that the UK uses these colours for pump handles.

Not much difference between 95 and 97, but a fair bit in cost!!
Interesting article in Evo re pump fuel and Coryton sustain fuel.
They test three cars, one being a 992 GTS which is Evos long termer. I would have thought they'd run it on 97 at least, but no, they have it running on BP 95.
Manufacturer claim: 473bhp, 420lb ft
BP 95: 471.9bhp, 406.8lb ft
Nothing in it for the bhp. Torque slightly down but the reason for this is the claimed Manufacturer torque includes some overboost which the dyno doesn't can't register as the runs build from low revs.
Tests were done on Lichfields dyno, same as the one Porsche use.
So it looks like 95 doesn't have much of a negative affect on figures.
It would be interesting to see what the 992 made on Vpower.
