it doesnt bother to much about price i dont pay for my daily fuel due to i get a fuel card for work but the weekender gets the BP mainly because it was tuned on it and im paro about the difference the other companies have. and i have like 3 BPs surrounding me

is there anything to compare all the other 98 octane fuels. i would like to see how much each manufacturers fuel differs from the other

mines a daily and at 15l/100 u got to look at the price

Tune it already lol. Don't be like Rohan...

Complaining about fuel economy, yet drives daily... He definitely could've done the tune and had money left over from how rich it was (is) running...

A full list of locations around WA can be found in the article on the SAU Main page:

:cheers:

Yeah! My local Shell is on the list :w00t:

price difference between BP and shell?

I found BP in general to be 5 - 10 cents more compared to others.

its getting a couple of grand spent on it next month, springs, cat, tune and alignment. then should be all good.

and wasn't complaining, just stating fact :nyaanyaa:

Hehe, actually a few of my mates have said the same thing. I've ignored my fuel gauge for years now, mainly because it disappears too fast. Nah honestly, providing there's no knock and the engine responds as expected then the criteria is pretty well met

i use caltex 98 all the time and pay on average 1.45c/l. will have to beat that to swap. I checked bp and it was 1.64c/l, kept on driving >_<

$1.55 p/l for V power at shell on Great northern hwy(midland) yesterday

Shell glengarry or duncraig what ever u wanna call it has now got it available and on 8 pumps, seems to be 15c a litre more then 91 where as caltex is normally iirc only 14c more, but with it's proximity to my house and a liquor land seems a good option for a carton of corona and 4c of me petrol all at once.

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
