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. :(

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
