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...

    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
