why dont u just buy octane booster?

+1

even if WA got higher octane fuel, there would be such a low demand for it, it would be taken off the market just as quick as it arrived.

That, plus the fact you would be paying through the roof for a tank, would see the already small market dry up very quickly

ps: lol @ Tomei_32 sig....hahaha

Octane booster doesn't really do all that much, in addition to it being another bunch of crap to add to already average fuel.

Octane boosted fuel will never be as good or as clean as true high octane fuel.

4.10 a litre lol

Thats what we pay for ultimate anyway isnt it?????

14c a litre extra is such a rip off its bullshit!

Does the cost of that little extra refining go up each week above the crude oil price??

I doubt it.

Rip off merchants!

Thants why monopolys suck, but i supose a duopoly isnt going to be any better they will just fix the prices, thats why an independent 98 would be good.

Just a shame we live in a lil country town with 1 refinery.

Bummer

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
