I am planning a trip and looking at fuel stops but have come accross a small problem. For 1 fill up, there isn't a servo that has V-Power or BP Ultimate, only Unleaded 95. I don't want to fill up with just 95 as the octane level is too low. Are there anyways around this or anyways to increase the octane level, without doing any engine damage??

Cheers,

Dan.

you could run it on 91 if you want, you just got to run it off boost and with low throttle %'s and you won't be near the knock threshold.

If your worried just put some octane booster in 95 octane and you'll be laughing.

Take a can of Toluene with you ad that to your 91 or 95 should bring you back up to a higher rating. Much better octane booster than mos of the commercial ones on the market

Or just knock a couple of degrees ignition timing out of it

where is your trip most of my trips to Canberra Sydney have BP all the way over pretty sure they all have ultimate

Coming from Taree back home near Adelaide, via Dubbo, West Wyalong, Hay, Mildura then Renmark etc... It's the stretch between Wyalong and Mildura where there is no V-Power or Ultimate. Might not matter, as the roads might be cut off because of the flooding.

NULON octane booster take it up 8 points from memory so it will make 91 into 99. I think it's $25-$29 per bottle that will treat a full tank of fuel. If you only want to take 95 up to 98 you could spread the one bottle over 2 tanks of fuel.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
