Fuel Adivice - Octane

[i hate rav 4's]

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.

couple of jerry cans bud

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.

+1^ you will be fine on open roads with 95 (if you can get your hands on it). Speed limit is 110kph, you're not doing a track day

cheers, always thought that it could only really run on 98.

as mentioned above. either stick a 20L jerry in the boot with 98 octane and then if you really need it you could go with 95 + octane booster

Octane booster is your friend ..

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

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

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.
