They're supposed to be running Mobil petrol as far as I know. Their 98 octane is supposed to be Mobil Synergy. Iv used them before with no issues but who knows what they're up to these days tho. Iv had a bad batch of bp ultimate once too and car ran like shit.

was it 98 octane but? None of the 7/11 in my area have 98 only 95 which they call premium

I use their 95 in my xtrail & I'll get avg 500k's to a tank city driving not much better milage from bp or shell 95 maybe an extra 20-30k's if that

I've used my local 711 premium 98, had no problems. My local 7-Eleven had their tanks replaced recently after 10 or so years. I don't blame them for putting out botched fuels since it's not just them. Time goes by, tanks age and can get cracks where water seeps in. has anyone actually taken a sample and tested it?

Just sayin

I allways try to fill up at big popular servos,the lil quiet one that a filled up in on the central coast

a month back had very bad 98,high knock an my 33 ran like crap.

Got home put 98 in at a new servo and all good again no high knock,allso changed fuel filter.

Yes, many 7/11s are built as recycled servos above old tanks.

Then again, there are quite a few old servos with big names on them too.

So just try and go to the places you trust.

And if you have mates over, let them know where those ones are eh?

Yeah if anyone is around Fairfield West, the 711 on Hamilton Rd corner of The Boulevarde had their tanks replaced less than 3 months ago, I'd be safe enough to say that the old ones are probably older than I am. Only two places that I go to fill up (unless I'm critically low) is that one and BP on The Horsley Drive near Tangerine St.

Any fuel station would be good if there's 98 octane and the queues are massive.

Fresh fuel's a guarantee with these stations.

I also never fill up if the tanker's there or has been there that day ;)

I assume it's because when they pump the fresh fuel in, it kicks up the sediments? If not then please explain!

As Terry said fancy looking convenience stores built on old tanks..they are more interested in selling donuts and slushies to fat people than quality fuel to motorists..

Even united are doing a far better job supplying quality fuels.

Its a real shame Caltex didn't get the buyout rights to Mobil..we could have had alot more eflex and quality vortex diesel available..

Instead we have to deal with Apu and his quik-e-mart junk. :(

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
