Anyone Watch Aca Just Then?

[jakez88]

anyone watch a current affair just then about which fuel gets more kms? they did like caltex, united, bp, shell and mobil and the beloved bp got the worst and caltex got the best?!

don't think it matters anyway the way i drive lolz.

Caltex got the best? Apparently BP is best for R33's.... like u said, doesnt matter... Car still runs better on BP premium.

[jakez88]

yeh was like a 7% difference or something? yeh my 32 loves the ultimate anyway.

[paulr33]

i stll don't understand how different octane fuel affects economy

is there some "real" reason i - mean 98 from shell and 98 from caltex

[KURAUN]

missed it

did they test united boost 98?

how did that go?

[jakez88]

i dunno either? but the way i look at it and my opinion is:

BP ultimate = Pioneer

Shell = Sony

Caltex = Panasonic

United = DSE/Home Brand

or in other words cheapo fuels will burn quicker because of quality? but i'm a noob so odn't listen to me lolz.

well octanes under a micro scope look different . the caltex ones have much better athletic bodies and are trained at high altitude. where a mobil octane tends to be more or a muscular octane with short burst power that fades away over distance .... the bp ultimate is a combination of vortex and sugar free redbull hence why the turboed cars tend to go reel well on it until the taurine wears off on hot humid temperatures.

[jakez88]

hmm thats very interesting...who uses caltex and loves it then?

[ziad]

^^ rotfl.

and united ones are the sugar junkies.

im running caltex on mine - and its been doing better than shell or bp - 370klms in 44 ltrs

Thats kilometer wise, how about engine wise? or the feel of how much better does your car run?

doesnt seem to be saying no to it

very very smooth.

All the 98ron fuel go well with the engine, but the caltex one gets more klms per ltr

[KURAUN]

actually tbh i dont really care what i put in my car long as its a 98 octane

and for fuel prices i cant complain i drive a turbo

all in all i drive an rb20

if it dies wrecker engines are cheap

Here's a link to the ACA feature:

in true ACA fashion, that test was pathetic and proved nothing but how their topics are chosen on the basis of how interesting the ad will sound.

the test was done on standard unleaded for starters. the difference in mileage could easily be attributed to the car on the day. we all know that no two cars are exactly the same, even if theyre the same model.

the difference between best and worse was soemthing like 8%. but then they decided to run 2 of the cars (why only 2?) on premium on the run back (BP and i think Mobile?).

the difference there over the standard unleaded was 7%. lol. so the test was basically a waste of time and told us nothing about anything.

[dezz]

Just watched it...

At the end of the day, they're the same model cars, but they're not THE SAME CAR, so its not exactly an accurate test...not to mention that any difference in throttle application before they got onto the freeway will affect the overall outcome. Not to mention that the speedo on each car might be different to the speedo on all of the others etc...so when they're dealing with a difference of 600ml, it really doesn't mean a thing considering all of the variables in the test.

I can't believe they even needed to test driving aggressively against driving conservatively...did they expect it to not turn out that way?

I hate these shows with their bullshit 'journalism'.

I wonder if ACA will be fined for littering, when the bald tosser threw $20 out the window...

[jakez88]

LOL! yeh idiot threw the money out the window...trying to be a sick kent on t.v..what a dumbass...could've used that for extra 98 octane! i wonder if they pulled over and tried to go back for it on the freeway.

[Skyline1989]

Don't use United and Liberty fuels... reason being, that they're bio-fuels

pulled fuel lines and changed fuel filter out of a truck the other day and found it to have slimy moss (green stuff on rocks)

couldn't believe it... never again will i use these fuels, but wanting to try ethanol based fuels

[LEANBAC]

damn better start using BP and ditch the shell

[Modena]

BP ultimate is the best.
