To all who put shell fuel in there car's.

I looked on the shell website and you can actually find out which servos have got what fuel's. You click what fuels typs you want and your postcode and it brings up lots of servos in thre area and exactle what they are selling.

Have a go!

Apart from the Shell Optimax fiasco i've never had a problem anywhere in the Western Suburbs getting any other brand of 98 from any servo at any time.

Richmond, Penrith, no 95 or 98 when we looked and none on the great western either.

I don't use 95 but for 98 you must be driving around blind or they've been filling their tanks with 91 and my pfc knock sensor isn't picking up on it.

Within 5km of me:

Caltex Glenmore Park = 98

BP Mulgoa Rd = 98

Mobil/Quix Mulgoa Rd = 98

Caltex Correen Ave = 98

BP Correen Ave = 98

Caltex Glenbrook = 98

Within 15km of me:

Mobil Blaxland = 98

BP Valley Heights = 98

Those are servo's that i've actually filled up with on 98 and that's about 1/3 of the servo's available to me that offer 98.

There are a few shell's around town with Shell V Power Racing. 100RON. Might try some of that stuff if I run out of my half a tank of BP Ultimate that's still in my tank from 2 weeks ago.

on the freeway? you're getting gyped. Mine does 12L/100km around the city, best effort on the freeway is 9.3L/100km. small price to pay for getting there in luxury I say :)

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
