FTO AUSTRALIA

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

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 ?

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

10

wtf 12

got to refill at the end of the driveway aye?

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.

I wouldnt use v-power either. Bp or caltex

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

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.

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.

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

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 ?

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.

All these people using 91 & E10....

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