webng Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Any of you tried Liberty's Premium Max fuel? I filled up at the Liberty Station on O.G. road and the guy there told me it was 100% 98 ron. Couldn't find United (Boost 98) anywhere so i tried this. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/192442-liberty-petrol/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubes Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Two Uniteds that I know of - Corner of Goodwood and Crossroad And there's another up in blackwood. The Liberty fuel appears to be an E10 fuel also. http://www.libertyoil.com.au/www/230/10011...le/1001366.html So no doubt should offer the same advantages. I might check out the local liberty; if they have the E10 I might look at getting the car tuned on it. There isn't a United close enough.

webng Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yeah i'm at Payneham and the closest United is on Prospect Rd which is about 10-15mins away. Imagine my frustation when i found out they were completely sold out of Boost 98 when i got there! Premium Max wasn't cheap though, $1.33 p/L on a Mon evening, never seen Boost 98 go more then $1.30.

There isn't a United close enough. the liberty site is fairly unhelpful in trying to find out about the petrol they sell. they dont really have any information or links about the premium max stuff. let us know how it goes.

webng Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Considering it was about the same price as BP Ultimate i don't see the value. But I thought i'd try it out anyway. The website says E10 but at the pump it had a sticker that said 100% petrol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/192442-liberty-petrol/#findComment-3458691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted180 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 hmm. well according to the site both the unleaded 94 and premiumax 98 are E10. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/192442-liberty-petrol/#findComment-3458711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
webng Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 I know, i reckon the website is right though. In which case the price wasn't very cheap at all. Not expecting any wonders, Boost 98 didn't do much economy wise. hmm.well according to the site both the unleaded 94 and premiumax 98 are E10.

Cubes Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Boost98 isn't supposed to improve economy. When tuned for the ethanol fuel there is a reasonable improvement in power. Some have seen ~20rwkw. If anything the ethanol fuel will return slightly worse economy.

Nightcrawler Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I put some of the Shell Ferrari tested fuel (VMax?) and my R34 pinged its ring off the 1st time I booted it. Siphoned it out and went straight back to reliable Mobil 8000 or BP Ultimate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/192442-liberty-petrol/#findComment-3459018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie33 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Never put anything but BP Ultimate in my car... except once I put V-Power cause the country town had a Shell but no BP.

darkhorse Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 hi all, i've been using Vpower eversince i got my car, and seems ok. never tried bp ultimate. my car is pretty much stock and wondering wether these diffeent fuel make any differences.... i just want my car to be safe... i hear someone's car was pinging while using Vpower? that's a worrie.,.. i might have to try BP ultimate although bp fuel seem to be more expensive...

Madaz Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 you cant always blame the fuel because your car pinged you have to try and factor in all the invariables my car occasionally pings but I'm running 12.5-13 psi on a stock ECU when it pings the weather is normally a bit warmer too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/192442-liberty-petrol/#findComment-3459469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
