Vortex burns like crazy, thats why it pings.. Bigger boom more heat.

:no:

Seriously, fuel prices are f**ked. These oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia are taking everyone for a ride :P .

Australia has something like the 2nd or 3rd cheapest fuel in the world when compared in relation to the value of the dollar and average weekly earnings, with other countries.

How would you like to live in the UK and pay more in POUNDS STERLING for a litre of fuel than we pay here in dollars?

(p.s- as a side note: at current prices, it's costing around 16c/Kilometre to drive the work car around the Sydney metro area. but that's with a fair bit of A/C usage)

I havent had to buy petrol for 6months!! Last time i bought it was at like 90something cents... lol now i come back on the road in 10 days and i have to pay 150... how depressing is that! lol

Motormouth can tell you where cheap fuel is, but they don't do all servos...

In the Northern Beaches/North Shore area the cheapest is at Caltex/Woolworths at Beacon Hill for $1.479/L (for Vortex 95 anyways) and they do sell 98 there.

The servo I go to in Belrose always has the same price as Beacon Hill, but I'm guessing that would still be a massive detour for yourself lol

Where the hell did you get petrol for 90c 6 months ago? unless it was right after the ACCC investigation... other than that; it hasn't been under $1 in at least 2 years now.

iono... I'll hit up the shell as I leave work, see if they have any... then from there I don't think I pass any others...

GAY!

Doof, if that shell dont have any, ask them to ring the next local shell,saves you driving around.

Make them do the searching for you.

Edited by FATAZZ

I dont even know where the next local shell is! I should be fine for a while... might make it through the weekend maybe...

But still, a good idea :P

It's really kind of annoying too cause my daily got stolen off me cause my mothers car was leaking coolant :D

man i went to fuel up today, every service station i went to didnt have 98 octane only one that had some was BP up at frenchs forest and even that was the last pump that still had any left all the others were empty! 1.44/litre its now 14 cents more than standard ULP, it was like 10 cents more a month ago!

I stopped in 3 Shell station from Liverpool to North Ryde to get V-Power or V-Power racing and all were out... Does anyone know when there will be some petrol. I just got my license back today and had to use Vortex 98... I'd prefer to use V-Power as thats all ive ever used in my car up until today.

So yea, any1 heard anything as to when V-Power will be back?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
