Hi.

Can someone who has been to Apollo Bay recently tell me if there are any petrol stations that sell premium unleaded, eg ultimate, mobil 8000 or something that is 98ron?

BP and mobil websites say jack s**t about it.

Thanks

I dont recall them doing it last time i was there earlier this year.

However you can get optimax from the shell in Anglesea.

Which should accomodate a thirsty car need be.

Just doing a day trip?

If you fill up just outside Geelong, you should be able to get as far as Pt. Campbell (after the 12 Apostles/London Bridge etc etc) which is another 45mins from Apollo Bay and then back again to Geelong.

Or take a different route from Pt. Campbell and go via Colac as there is Ultimate there at the last servo before you exit the town :(

Hope that helps.

Shell still have optimax?? I thought they only had 100ron now? There's none around here with Optimax.

BTW PJ you are blind because there has always been an ultimate search on the BP site :(

products/services > BP Ultimate> BP Ultimate locator

Try this link.. http://www.bp.com/iframe.do?categoryId=901...ntentId=7017653

Geelong > Apollo bay > Geelong is easily done on one tank.. it's only about 100k to apollo bay via GOR or 200k to Port Campbell

Have fun!!

As Paul says, we used them this year.

Kaz - Shell do 98RON and 100RON but 100RON is only on specific sites e.g Shell on Punt Rd. V Power is 98 and V Power Racing is 100.

Really? Cool didn't know that :) I thought there it was just V Power/100ron

Although Shell doesn't do too great in our cars anyway, lots of knock, but good to know! Thanks :)

Yeah, Shell is a funny one. Rated very highly in the UK for performance fuel, like the BP of Australia but not so here, it seems. I run mine on it when I can't get BP but my map is only for a 98RON now I think anyway which suits me a lot better as 100 is hard to come by without an additive.

Thanks guys for the responses and the information.

I am planning on taking my (hopefully) wife to be down there and i just need everything to go along smoothly.

Although it would be sorta funny running out of fuel and making her push...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
