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

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
