fuel

[bduffman]

i dont look at the kms or the cost of fuel ( dosent bother me i thrash my car and have the money to fill it when ever i want so dosent bother me )
i use 98 normaly from shell but since the new bar switched to caltex due to the drive way lol
i drive from gosford to north syd and home again 4 times to a tank but normaly fill up after 3 days never let it go below 1/4

Well I am running a high tune and good power and can still do 600+K's per tank, so there is no fishing around these parts
If I run the car untill almost dry I can get aprox 720k's. Not that I ever do run it that low.

Is that after the new fuel filter ? Or even before ?

i still think you drink more juice then your car, benn

Its a fair fight, lets just put it that way

You guys must be good fisherman. 600k a tank, Wtf my mate has a 2005 honda accord euro and he struggles to get 600k with a 60l tank. I'm not saying your lying but I find that hard to believe

Seriously? LOL. How is he driving? Are you sure lol? 600k in a FTO is very do-able.

Aye. The misses can get 600 outta hers.

I got 630 out of mine and its a tip...... Then I turboed it and now I get 12

[Gholdwayne]

Hey, at least the car doesn't need filling up initial warm up .

I got 400ks using E10. I put shells v-power this time. Let's see how big the diffrence is going to be

Drive your E10 till dry.
Pump BP ultimate - 98
Reset ECU.
Finish a tank.
Pump another tank of BP 98.
Then only start to get the mileage reading for the fuel.

[I8A4RE]

I wouldnt use v-power either. Bp or caltex

[hhakan]

Really??? What's the diffrence between them there both 98 grade arnt they?

[phunkydude]

Well, quite a few cases been reported on shell having inconsistencies on fuel quality as in 'bad batch' exists.
I remember aza got burnt by it. Engine pinging??

Besides, shell put ethanol to v-power to get the ron up to 98.
(It's like you pump 95 and then you mix them with octane booster.)
Some say the additives/ethanol is bad for fuel system components. (injector clogs, etc.)

While BP ultimate is pure ron 98 fuel.

[aza013]

no not Engine pinging, engine went bang big time. Only cost shell about $14000 to fix.

Serious? So you filled up with V-power and what did it go bang straight away, or did it feel a bit off for a while before blowing?

How did you manage to convince Shell it was there fault? I thought they would have done all they could to blame it on something else.

[hhakan]

Okay no more v-power I gess straight out bp. But what aza got can happen even at bp if there dodgy

[bduffman]

diff is unless your car is tuned with after market ecu i dont think it would matter to much what fuel you used ive used 91 for a while and didnt have any issues

how did your engine blow up running to lean ?

[aza013]

It took about 15 mins after I filled the car, it started to bog down then just stopped.
All injectors blocked open.
I went down to talk to the servo manager and she told me that there fuel was fucked so there was nothing they could do.

[Bennoz]

All these people using 91 & E10....

Make it stop... please make these bad people go away
