hmm thats wierd there always 10cent more than reg unleaded but usally if bp's say 1.18 shells 1.20.

although i went to shell the other day and the sign said 1.11 for reg unleaded, so i pulled in and reg unlead was 1.09 and xtreme was 1.11 HAHA a win at the pump! i was chuffed :laugh:

My experiences from

BP

Shell

Caltex

Caltex was the first fuel I used. Returned good economy (380km/45L) with a fair bit of giving it a hit. Was quite happy.

I decided to try Shell.

Shell: Car feels a little bit more repsonsive on the shell compared to Caltex just before it comes on boost. But, a drop in fuel economy (even when only cruising)

BP fuel. Miss fired and drove like shit. Will NEVER put it back in a car I own again!

Currently have just thrown a tank of Caltex back in (As local shell was closed at night) and will see the difference in economy.

And my Shell is around 2-4C/L cheaper then the Caltex. And over 45/50L that's only a saving of 90Cents - $2

And at $1.20 per litre, I'm only really putting in an extra litre.

I'll only get 13 extra kays on the shell once I wack in the "extra" $2...

The Caltex I think, will be what I'll be staying on in the future.

Well no matter what fuel (non ethanol based) I use it always returns the same economy... Be it regular unleaded (dialing out 7degree's at wot otherwise it pings) caltex, bp ultimate, mobile etc...

They all pretty much feel the same. Some times the car feels as if its a little down on power then I realise its probably because i've been stuck up it a lot more than usual and have got used to its pick up. Drive it sedately for a couple of days, give it a hit in second and it feels quick again. :D

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
