I filled up my brothers 3rd car this morning. His first car is a GTiR which is a piece of shit, thrashed and dirty, second car is a 1995 Magna with a buggered engine that we recently sold, third car is a 1998 Camry that my PARENTS bought for him to 'ruin' as well. I am driving the Camry coz my car is at Hyperdrive for the weekend.

Paid $1.27 per litre for Unleaded ;)

after speaking to a few people at a few Caltex's i have found out they are getting their 98 octane through Mobil (same as peak) as caltex and mobil are owned by the same parent corporation so their fuel isn't a true 98 octane as it contains toulene to boost it to that level and it deteriorates over time so ya fill ya car up with 98 octane by the end of the tank its down to 95 /96 octane

Woohoo!

I just filled up today 68 litres 632KM's and a nice Japanese lady on the nav system said I need to fill up. The needle wasn't on empty but the fuel light was on. I figured at that rate and with a 76 litre tank I could have gone to 706 k's before running dry.

Beats the crap out of my 4WD.

Want to run through a few tanks before doing any mods and check the consumption at each stage.

when i got the car i was getting about 280-300km per tank although the right foot was abit heavy. got powerfc tuned a few weeks back and with same sort of driving as when got the car getting about 450km per tank so im happy. the powerfc will pay for itself one day:).

does everyone tend to fill up when fuel light comes on or really drain it right down most of the time?

When the red light comes on the nice Japanese girl hiding in my dash says what must be "time to fill up sir, please look for a petrol station that sells BP Ultimate", could probably go another 50kms or more before running out but might not be able to get 98 RON.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
