Gasoline brands and the 458

Try Sunoco unleaded 100 octane or V Racing 100 octane... or check in with 458 Trofeo.

 

I am using 91 octane ethanol-free gasoline in my 2013 458 Italia. There is a significantly smoother feel to the engine, as well as an approximately 15-20% increase in highway mileage using ethanol-free gas. There is no knocking. I would never pump ethanol gas into my car unless there was no other option.

Here is a link to stations that offer ethanol-free gasoline. Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

 

VP 101aki Streetblaze is my new fave, but the Sunoco GT 100 that Noblesse
mentions works great!!

I stay away from Trick 100 or VP 100, Lola does not like it as much

 

I use Shell. 91 octane.

Please note: we are at 8k ft above sea level. Less octane is needed at altitude because the lack of oxygen makes the fuel burn slower anyway.

 

When I'm in Atlanta, I buy it all the time from a Shell station in Alpharetta. It's pricey, but available right out of the pump just like all the other grades. I use a 50-50 mix with 93 premium in my old muscle cars that knock on straight premium without the timing severely retarded.

 

I like sunoco the best but often use bp as it's the most convenient

 

My Dad worked for Shell over 40 years. He thought their research was the best. I am not qualified to have an independent appraisal.

 

DAD is allways right !

I use Octane 96 in Europe ...
