What petrol do you use for your FTO?

[Gholdwayne]

about AU$5 per gallon, we count per litre, the cheapest i get(on tuesdays) is AU$ 1.33 a litre.

[vipfto]

us or uk gallon?

I'm paying $1.489/litre for BP ultimate (98 octane) we dont get 99

but way better than when I was in NZ was well over $2.20/litre at one stage

[Storm]

In litres it's £1.25 a litre at the moment, which is Au$2.07 if my currency convertor is correct.

Still a heck of a lot.

[zuihoujueding]

e10 is at least 94ocatane, regular is at least 91octance, then the rest is at least 98octane.

[crimson236]

i use e10
is the cheapest

gotta love the savings

i was joking lol
doesnt e10 like completely f**k the fto?
i heard that somewhere so that i'd post that i use it

i use caltex 95
i am to cheap to use 98

At least u didn't say u'd use 91. LOL

[Gholdwayne]

e10 is at least 94ocatane, regular is at least 91octance, then the rest is at least 98octane.

mobil has 91 E10 now

[aza013]

Well the last time I looked all E10 was a 91 Ron fuel.
If you want to use a E fuel I would go the E85 race car power lol

[zuihoujueding]

strangely enough.. mobil stated their e10 is between 92-93octane where as shell e10 is atleast 94octane.

[Gholdwayne]

yeah i was filling up at mobil and i saw big 91's on both regular unleaded and e10, united has 95octane e10, thats what i used to use in another car..

[bduffman]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i use shell unleaded some one could have told me to use the good stuff this should be a sticky for the nubs who come on to warn them cause i wasnt told sh*t guy i bought my car off fucked me over left right and centre ive replaced all seals and tappets and basicly any thing else you can think of so i want to keep it running nice next tank wil be the good stuff promise

[aza013]

Vortex 98 for the win

[zuihoujueding]

thats bad...but i reckon 91unleaded is the cause for those problems thou.... the engine just dont run that efficient thats all.

[bduffman]

yea the prob was not being serviced when the guy took the timeing belt off he was like i dont think your real kms are 98000 cause the belt was in pretty bad shape but thats alright

[brent88]

hey, had my fto for nearly a year now i use half sh*t fuel and half good ive heard that the 98 and all that is overrated but its fine if u use both of them, reading this im more likley to use good fuel 2 thirds of the time but its hard to prove if bad fuel does cause problems or its just an excuse for blown up thrashed imports, my fto is a 94 gpx with just under 120,000 kms and the engine never misses a beat,

what would be a good study or somehintg to awnser is the good fuel is it more economical? like if u spend 8%more on the fuel and u get 3% extra power and 3% better fuel econemy??????
thats sorta my theory anyway itd b good if it were true and there was figures to back it up??? can anyone help?

[zuihoujueding]

there will never be a solid figure as fuel consumption varies on the way you drive, traffic, environments and so on. But what i have found on my two years of fuel consumption logging, premium really does gives more mileage. Power increase? minimum.
e10 is cheaper but burns faster, thus less mileage out of it, so it kinda even out. So personally i would go for premium fuel at the minimum, and premium98 when the price is cheap.
Premium consists of more cleaning additives as well which is good.

with premium i get about 50km more off a tank
i dont notice any power difference
and overall its saves you $$$ on what you would otherwise have to spend repairing your engine

[brent88]

sounds good, i woulf b lucky to get 400kms outta a tank the way i drive @$55 a tank to fill @$1.30 per litre thats 7.3 kms for $1 woa thats sad lol. and some of that was on a highway.

therefore working on your theory if premium petrol is $1.42 it would cost $60.50 to fill tank and say i got 450kms outta it then for a $1 i would get......(opens calc again lol) 7.4kms as opposed to 7.3 and i would also have better quality fuel so sounds good i will have to test this and not coz im a tightarse i just wanna c so i can honestly say and have information to quote as to how much difference it makes to at least 98% accuracy

dunno how long till get the same trip eg highway driving. but when i get the stats i shal post them here

will drive car in much same manner, fill at same servo so fuel cutoff is same and starting destination is the same, drive with same or no passangers in car, run fuel down to exact same level(as close as i can get) and do it within hopefully a week and a half of each other so parts provide same fristion etc.

gimme a few weeks tops

mine is based on about half half driving
i drive highway to uni everyday
20 minutes there 20 minutes back and then regular driving the rest of the time

[brent88]

fair enough ill keep that in mind4spd or 5? man or auto? mine is 4auto

[silverGPX]

I fill my fto till fuel comes out of the spout (Imports always have troubles with bowser cutoffs, once filled 15L with it clicking every .5 of a Litre) with bp98. Really it costs close to $85 i dont know what calculator your using is FTO's have 60L tanks.
