Opel Fuel In The Stagea?

Hey guys. I'm in Adelaide and planning on road tripping to Perth next sometime early next year.

I was just wondering, in the middle of nowhere they've got this "opel fuel" stuff. What exactly is it and will it be ok for the Stag??

Gee there is so much crap goes on here about fuel..... a std Stagea will run on 91 octane no problem. Unless you hear pinging from any engine (except if it has retarded ignition) then you are getting complete detonation.

And that means that it is OK. In fact you won't get any more power from higher octane unless you re-map and re-tune your engine, all higher octane lets you do is run more advance on the timing, higher compression or more boost.

Let us know when you're coming, we'll get a cruise happening.

Stagea is made to run on 100 octane. If you put a lower grade fuel in the ecu will adjust to avoid detonation but performance will suffer. Just remember when you get back to 98 to reset the ecu (disconnect it from power) so that it can adjust to the better fuel.

Well you won't get high!! if you plan on sniffing the opal !! :) but you could just take some octane booster with you to add to opal fuel like 104+ octane boooster :)
