Petrol In Sydney

[JUN`R32]

Hey All

Not sure if u guys have noticed but there seems to be no petrol in the sydney area, due to some refinery issue ?? :S

Anyone know if this is true,

poured petrol last night, no V power, no bp ultimate, no normal unleaded.

had to pour a lil bit of that crappy ethanol addative petrol from shell :S :S

Anyone have any insights into this as im gettin pi$$ed

already told off 2 shell servo employees, think she got a lil scared lol

BP at West Pennant Hills has still got a little bit (I say a "little bit" because 2 of the 4 pumps were out of service so I guess one of their tanks is empty)... The dodgey bastards have jacked the price up 3c though (now 13c more than regular unleaded)

I dare say that it will be a few weeks before we see fuel in the pumps because the refineries are going to be catching up for a while once production starts again!

There is BP ultimate available at Gymea BP...

But i know what u mean... a mate and i drove around for ages yesterday tryin to get fuel

Yeah we're farked...

The refinery that shell uses to produce most of it's v-power is out... it randomly failed, and now they have pushed ahead a scheduled maintenance period for it (lasts about a month)... Shell did say they were going to import V power from Thailand or somewhere though...

BP optishit should be fine though... Dunno what's up there...

BP Ultimate is better and cheaper than Shell Optimax IMO anyway...

I get up to 45 knock on the PowerFC when using Optimax and only 20-25 max with Ultimate! This far from a perfect method of testing fuel mind you, but im not going to pay more for fuel that gives me higher knock!

Give it a try, you havent got much other choice at the moment - hehe

yehhh BP had no petrol at all last night, no ultimate and no unleaded....

pretty crazy, especially now when things where looking to get cheaper

ggrrrrr

soo annoying

last thing i wanna do is drive around for 30min lookin for petrol in traffic

[evil_weevil]

well, looks like the 33 will be sitting in the shed untill we see more 98 around r31 can run on crap fuel

spoke to my local bp bloke about the lack of ultimate the other day,

he said their biggest issue lately had been finding/employing drivers to do the deliveries

The local servo people don't get told shit... they don't even know when the trucks will turn up... they just say they are empty or close to empty and the petrol company sends a truck out...

it's pathetic...

And Jon, V power racing is the best fuel I have used yet

[lingeringsoul]

man i better check to see if my local has fuel or not.....not gonna be pretty if I run out of petrol in the middle of hte road

[Primordial]

And Jon, V power racing is the best fuel I have used yet

Ooo yeah I agree, V power racing is great, but very expensive

I love my daily driver - 91 octane all day

[Primordial]

do you mean the supra or the commonwhore?

[N1GTR]

Commonbore

When petrol gets scarce/sick of the supra i go back to the commonbore for a few days

meh, I have noticed some pumps out, but I just filled up the legacy GT the other day with 98 at mobil. thankfully it gets shitloads of kms to a tank and I drive fark all so it should be a while till it needs to be filled again. BUT when the GTR is in action is a whole other story.

i hate that,getting to the servo and finding they all out of Ultimate,Luckily i got 4 within a 5k radius.

But 1 of them doesn't sell Ultimate at all...dodgey...

Work Ute FTFFW!

Well In chatswood I waited about 15 mins at each servo, it was banked up and the price was only $1.31.. Im like right.. As if you going to save more for 4c but neways check out 4 shells about 5 mins away from each other and all had no v power.

I was pissed and was wondering why people had even bothered lining up.. they just had ethanol on tap!:S

Anyways I settled for BP Optishit and the car runs like dog balls, I think Ill be hitting up Vortex, at least it cleans at it goes and gives fantastic power.. Pitty it lasts only a few days

EXACTLY the same story as me, except I only went to one Shell and then investigated the problem...

Optishit feels laggy and less responsive... I want my v power racing back

[FATAZZ]

maybe im abit fanatical but shouldnt you only use the petrol your car was tuned on?

[Atomnaya]

Yeah the weekend was pretty bad for premium.

Went to at least two shells and one BP. None had 98 some had 95.

Finally got some 98 from Mobile, i think its called 8000 or something.
