You have an R33.. Yes it is a series.. it has to be.. Also did you seriously buy a car without knowing anything about it? Cause i've got some nigerian dollars for you.. Can we make a deal?

doesn't always give you better economy, at least not in my experience. over the past few months i have tried 3 different fuels (for a few weeks per brand to get a good idea of the economy, not just a 1 off). i've been using caltex 98, bp ultimate and united e10. i have found them all to be within a few % of each other. most times economy is within 0.5L/100km of each other no matter what type it is for similar types of driving. i get just as much variance between individual tanks of fuel of the 1 type as i did when i changed brands. for the extra cost of the 98 over the e10, it certainly didn't give enough of an economy increase to balance out.

i should note that this was tested in the missus SSS pulsar.

to add to that it also depends on the servo, mojority of the co branded servos i've been to (woolies and coles) i put 98 in and have to retard my timing to stop it poping after 3000rpm so my guess is its 91/e10 some BP are the same, but non woolies caltex 98 never gave me an issue but the bp near my work gives me the better distance per tank
