They're supposed to be running Mobil petrol as far as I know. Their 98 octane is supposed to be Mobil Synergy. Iv used them before with no issues but who knows what they're up to these days tho. Iv had a bad batch of bp ultimate once too and car ran like shit.

was it 98 octane but? None of the 7/11 in my area have 98 only 95 which they call premium

I use their 95 in my xtrail & I'll get avg 500k's to a tank city driving not much better milage from bp or shell 95 maybe an extra 20-30k's if that

I've used my local 711 premium 98, had no problems. My local 7-Eleven had their tanks replaced recently after 10 or so years. I don't blame them for putting out botched fuels since it's not just them. Time goes by, tanks age and can get cracks where water seeps in. has anyone actually taken a sample and tested it?

Just sayin

Yes, many 7/11s are built as recycled servos above old tanks.

Then again, there are quite a few old servos with big names on them too.

So just try and go to the places you trust.

And if you have mates over, let them know where those ones are eh?

Yeah if anyone is around Fairfield West, the 711 on Hamilton Rd corner of The Boulevarde had their tanks replaced less than 3 months ago, I'd be safe enough to say that the old ones are probably older than I am. Only two places that I go to fill up (unless I'm critically low) is that one and BP on The Horsley Drive near Tangerine St.

Any fuel station would be good if there's 98 octane and the queues are massive.

Fresh fuel's a guarantee with these stations.

I also never fill up if the tanker's there or has been there that day ;)

I assume it's because when they pump the fresh fuel in, it kicks up the sediments? If not then please explain!

As Terry said fancy looking convenience stores built on old tanks..they are more interested in selling donuts and slushies to fat people than quality fuel to motorists..

Even united are doing a far better job supplying quality fuels.

Its a real shame Caltex didn't get the buyout rights to Mobil..we could have had alot more eflex and quality vortex diesel available..

Instead we have to deal with Apu and his quik-e-mart junk. :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
