ive given up on 98ron so i now look for BP Premium or Mobil Premium, that is still a bitch!!

NO! dont give up the dream!

man my car ran like a dog on the 2nd last batch of 98 i got. i cant bear to imagine what 95 would be like. might as well just piss in your injectors.

im considering using octane booster regularly. lost one of my engines from detonation, anything to prevent that happening again...

Yep, drove from Vaucluse to Hornsby via Homebush and not a single servo had 98.

Eventually found some on the way back at Thornleigh at the Caltex there..... unbelieveable!!

If you want 98 close to Vaucluse, go to the caltex on old south head road near the blair st intersection (across from where the golf course starts)

I have filled up with 98 from there in the last two weeks without an issue.

I just got effed in the A... rocked up to the servo on the main road and they had traffic cones blocking the driveway!

And a truck probably filling the bowsers... though the driver looked shonky... I think he knows we're onto them :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, the new shell and bp pumps actually give read outs to customers how many litres have been seen pulled through the pump, the 98 stuff is like 100,000 ontop of the rest..

Grannys love the power in their excels too..

To add to your quest for fuel Vortex is avaliable, its got more power in it too :)

thats precisely the problem. boat drivers (sailors?) with delusions of grandeur(powah).

quote macarthur chronicle mar25:

"...like many in the community i am struggling to make ends meet. Filling up my 2003 Holden Commodore...

...My car runs best on Shell fuel...

...I went to the Mt Annan station and every single premium unleaded bowser was 'out of fuel'. The only fuel available was the cheap ethanol blend which i will not put in my car."

so there you have it.

the problem is actually struggling family men stealing our 98ockers to waste it in their bombodore bongo wagons. i hope they are enjoying the improved performance and the increased inflation due to their spurious spending.

what a jerk-off.

Hey, all the servos i've been to have about 100-200,000 more litres on the 91 clocks. The second most used is 98. 95 is the odd one out. Tight arses (or for Dr Doof, tight A's :D ) don't wanna spend extra on it, and performance drivers and bogan drivers alike won't allow the energy crises to defeat us!!!

Maybe all the burnouts i hear at night are those grannies in their stock excelboxes.

so there you have it.

They mustn't be struggling if they can raise a family of monkeys AND pay $1.60/L on Thursdays!

So erm, has anyone actually heard WHY there is no premium fuel? The last one I heard was that the refinery at Kurnell or wherever had to stop for a day which delayed the supply of fuel for two weeks or something... But i dont think that is related to this because that was a while ago.

Anyone heard anything else?

A catalytic cracker malfunctioned, and while it was temporarily shut down, they decided to do a scheduled shut down of the entire plant for up keep or whatever the f**k reason... it was going to be a few months later, but they decided to push it forwards...

They were also going to import V power Racing I believe to cover losses...

i was going to the 24hr mobil on the hume highway (m5) at pheasants nest, and yet even that not is OUT OF ORDER! found vortex 98 on blaxland rd campbelltown, although i feel awful putting that shit in my car.

no one could expect this to kill imports, or rather, performance cars. how easy is it to buy octane booster? just inconvenient and a bit pricey.

+1 for the whole situation being ludicrous.

what about adding tolune to the mix?

well if worse comes to worse i will add toluene, as found in many octane boosters. but i shouldnt bloody well have to. is it my fault? why should have to pay for it? why cant i just be provided with 98octane fuel at so-called "service" stations? last time i checked we werent a 3rd world country.

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.

      Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂

      Getting lug nuts "gutentight" with no torque wrench

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
