What Fuel Do You Drink?

[G0DZLR]

Surprised there hasnt been an ongoing sticky topic for this, but what fuel do you all use? how would you rate it? what kms do you get? any brands better/worse than others?

i myself use Shell V-Power (98RON) get generally 350kms around town per tank and 500-550 out on the open road. Series 1 RB25DE with no mods bar intake.

might be good to help out newbies in the skyline scene and prevent confusion about what fuel is recommended for RBs.

[gt-ahhh!]

well theres really only two choices isnt there?

v power or bp ultimate.

i wouldnt let anything else near my car when it can be avoided.

that said, i was outraged to pay $137.9 for ultimate today. in a metro area. what a joke. crude is $45 a barrel for fox sake!

I use BP ultimate.Never tried anything else.Car is R33 series 2 turbo.Get between 480-520 to a tank around town.And thats not granny drivin either.

BP ultimate

Used to use BP Ultimate but been trying vortex 98 for the last month. No noticable difference.

The only way to go is BP Ultimate and E85 on a 10 to 1 mix.

My GTR was tuned for Shell V Power Racing 100 RON and by changing to this mix on the same tune I picked up 10 kw and the car runs cooler. E85 is a good cheap octane booster that really works.

how much per litre? its still 128.5 down here for premium

i personally dont touch shell v power at all.... I find that i get less km's out of it and less power....

Usually use mobil 8000 most of the time, then bp ultimate if mobil is out.... used to use vortex 98 religiously, found no difference in performance, operating temps or milage compared to ultimate or 8000, only difference is around my area its usually more expensive than the rest....

I have used united 98 octane fuel and i find it pretty good, no problems with my car.

shell in my area is by far the cheapest but i get high end pinging when i use it, also had idle issues with it... my car probably isnt tuned right for shell fuel, each car is different so just find whats best for your car. There is no one right answer to this question.

BP Ultimate 98.

Paid $188.7 a litre for that... a few months ago... on Kangaroo Island...

I use to use Shell Optimax 98 until my mechanic told me to use BP Ultimate 98.

Now I use BP Ultimate 98. The car seems to be very smooth and performs well on that fuel.

I was using United's boost98 for a long time but have recently changed to BP Ultimate. Roughly about 400km's stop start and short trips, but did Adelaide to Hardwicke Bay on just over 1/4 of a tank! Have been told to stay away from the local Shell, dirty tanks!

Caltex produces all the petrol for shell and bp , mobil produce their own 98 from Melbourne

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Mobil is good too!

Mobil Synergy 8000 98 RON. I use it if BP is not around then swtich back to BP.

i find them all pretty much the same,,,,, still i cant stand shell, different colour = not exactly the same, there is still a difference between shell and the rest acording to how my car behaves, even though its derived from the same source....

[G0DZLR]

looks like my next fill i might switch to BP...

either this thread or Michaels thread should be stickied

[bt23]

Usually I get Shell V-Power RON 98, but if I'm on the road and running low, any premium will do me.

sorry 137.9c

[DaGr81]

It's all the same bp has an actual ron rating of 98.6 that's why your car behaves better... And bp also charges the most 14c per litre more than standard fuel compared to 10c a litre more at other joints!

Mass protest!!! And also the guys at bp all have bad customer service!

v power is all we can buy with in 80kms of me. that is 95ron

use united 98 where i can cus of the better octane. for some reason i get 600kms out of it and only 450-500 out of shell
