Id have a late model 33 over a 32 any day cause genuine K's are way lower and are generally in way better mechanical condition.

Hrmmm,

Thats quite a generality if you ask me... I judge each car on its individual merit, the engines in the 33/32 are very similar obviously so if they are looked after then either can be in good nick and likewise if not looked after, both can be heaps....

Quite true, I was generalising a little.

Still I am bloody glad that I never ended up with a Commonodore :)

Haha, yeah very true, commowhores are just not in the same league, last time i was in one, when the driver selected reverse (it was an auto) the whole car shifts up ever so slightly then drops what feels like and inch or two...the engines in them cars is also soo unrefined, when pushed they sound like a mangy dog that is begging to be put down cause even he cant stand the sight or sound of himself....

Hmm are the R33 Skyline GTS25T any good? I've had my 1997 SII for 6.5 years, imported in early 2000 with 21,000km on the clock, besides a set of 18" Rims & K&N Panel filter its completely stock. Besides regular servicing and a clutch at about 95,000km, its now done 105,000km, I haven't had to spend a cent on it. Couldn't have hoped for a more reliable car that looks awesome (even after 6.5 years) and still out performs cars 3 times its worth.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
