Availability Of 98

[JonnoHR31]

highly unlikely country BPs will have 98

dont use octance booster, it does an awesome job of f**king spark plugs and o2 sensors real quick, probably not great for the fuel system either.

just use 91 and dont thrash it if your that worried, if everything is working properly with a standard ecu theres no way you'll make it knock just cruising along if you use 91.

Im pretty sure jurien is the only Bp between perth and gero, i havnt used it so not sure if its got 98.

All the Bps in gero have 98

[Jeremy93]

Yeah not worried for when I get into Gero, I get free fuel once I'm there

Thanks for everyones replies, I'll just take some octane booster for the trip, I'll try do some re search on octane booster and o2 sensors to see if they do mess them up.

1 bottle over 2 tanks of fuel is enough to completely f**k a brand new set of plugs, seen it happen several times. dont use it

Go buy a proper car, a BMW

E39 528i, 100kmh, 6.6L/100km AC + radio on., theoretical full tank economy of 1060km

Martin, my old 32 (one over east) could get 650+km/tank sitting at 100 solid and that was fairly powerful... Something not right with your car....

Something not right with my car lol, give me a break I'm new to tuning! I get 600kms to a tank with my daily driving habits, that's better than most... I just haven't figured out the right mixtures for the higher load/RPM cells yet, if I go much leaner than it's set at now (around 14.7 - 13.8) then the car starts to surge. Also the transient throttle enrichment goes a bit off when I make it leaner, so for now I've left it where it is. I have a feeling Andy didn't set my injector latency up quite right when he tuned my car, so it messes with the target AFR's a bit. I don't want to adjust it though cos it will throw out my high load/RPM cells and I don't wanna tune them on the street

This.

Octane booster is shit, stay away from it. Just run the 91 as Jonno said, it will be fine on the stock ECU as long as you're driving gently.

unless there's something seriously wrong with your car, you'll make it on one tank.

just feather the throttle slowly going up hills instead of flooring and you'll be fine.

I drove to geraldton in june (via coast rd).

If i can make it from duncraig > geraldton on one tank (60L) with a carb that hasnt been kitted from new, no injector cut off on decel/ o2 sensors etc then you should be fine or your car has problems.

I think we have already established that his car has problems Socs

Yeah, my Line is tempermental

Socrates I never knew you lived so close to me.

Cheers for the feathering advice haha, I'll need it.

There's no need to stress anyway its only 400 odd ks, theres heaps of places to get petrol even if your car is chewing through it.

I made several trips to Albany back & forth this year (around 430 km one way) & the best I can muster is around 10.5L/100km, then again I'm usually the one overtaking people which means foot down 100% while this is happening.

EDIT: I bring a 10L fuel can everytime I go, just in case.

I drove to Kalbarri recently and all the BP's i stopped at had 98.. i didn't have any troubles at all.

I'd recommend you stop at the caltex outside Dongara for a pie as well... they are awesome pies!

Cheers man this gives me a glimpse of hope, and yes I know, those pies are amazing!

I'm looking rather forward to free crays in gero tho

i get from kalgoorlie to perth on one tank, in 6 hours
