Did anyone hear on the news about some oil refinery going up in flames and pushing the price of crude oil up or something? I think I saw a snippet on an ad for the news... But I may have dreamt it...

Yep it just hit or over the $100 barrel mark which they predict is going to rise the petrol prices for a at least 5 weeks or so..

No it's true, I heard it on the radio, in Texas i think it said. From SMH - "A fire on Monday shut Alon USA Energy's 67,000 barrel per day refinery in Big Spring, Texas, and officials said they were expecting to partially restart the plant in about two months."

Also is it just me or has the margin price over normal unleaded for Vortex98, and Ultimate gone up since the shortage of Vpower? I'm sure it used to be always exactly 10c more than than the normal unleaded but for the past month it's always been about 12-15c more? Or has this been happening for a while and I just haven't noticed?

Digging up an old thread today but had to mention Shell is selling V power Racing cheaper and V power Regular.. Still cost an arm and a leg but It was 1 c cheaper .. Weird.

I think it was 1.78 What a rip! Tuesday wasnt even cheap!

Yesterday i drained the tank out of the skyline and put it into my Proton. As the skyline had been sitting there for 6 months, i figure i might as well use the fuel before it goes bad.

And another reason for draining it was i dont want the skyline tuned on fuel that has been sitting in the car for 6 months.

Just saw petrol for $1.70 this is an out of control

the petrol stations have to tell the regulatory bodies the day before what there price will be at 2pm the next day

So always fill up tuesday or before 2pm wednesday

its getting ridiculous but everyone is still paying it no one wants an electric car yet!

my 2c

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
