Which fuel do you use??

What fuel do you use??

[inark]

Shell Optimax...

Regular unleaded = 390kms

Optimax = 460kms + 8c/litre more

$44 - to fill with reg

$49 - to fill with opti

obviously depending on when i fill up as to what the price is.

[Guest]

I'm surprised of the result, i would of thought Optimax or BP Ultimate were the way to go.

[Guest zerorespect]

so does anybody really know what is the best to use....?

i've been hearing horror stories of late regarding optimax fouling plugs with the "cleaning" additives in bikes...someone was trying to tell me the same thing was happening in wrxs

i've switched across from optimax to synergy..given that work will only give me a fuel card for mobil and/or shell the choice is kinda limited...?

is bp any good...i thought they were like light years behind the other guys...?

[Guest]

I think BP Ultimate, is not bad but i'm not sure for turbo cars. I tried it once and it wasn't that good

[inark]

hmmmm... if there was a mobil near me id probably use it after hearing about the probs opti causes... but then again ive used it for years without a problem on my old crap box.

[Guest]

optimax is on the comeback

[Leon.T]

BP ultimate....cos it'z near my house

[funkymonkey]

regular unleaded (go the fuel requirements of a GTS!!!) but only from BP, Mobil, Caltex or Shell (the last 2 get their fuel from the same refineries anyway) gets me ~450km on a full tank.

Hate wooly's/safeway (bloody vic names) fuel with a passion coz its always watered down. Same with some independants, I'll only ever use em if I'm either short on change or they have a really mad price on fuel (like 10c lower)

When I used to have the 180sx I was partial to Synergy, and I got really good results using it with mobil's synthetic oils n additives. I think its better that way, coz its all from the same company, and from experience as long as you keep things uniform there's no problems, there's only trouble when you start mix n matching (yes I'm a techsupport person who hates ppl who buy hardware that's obviously incompatible with their PC's)

I use BP Ultimate 98 in the Type-R.

Will do the same for my new R33.

[gatty]

i use optimax i my NA 33 - runs well

also use the caltex version - i think it's called 'vortex'??

[MarkG]

Yeah Vortex.

All the major brands have their "ULTIMATE" mixture, but it's still cat piss compared to the Jap juice

[Greg]

synergy 8000 is best for me, in my experience vortex is shit, but that was bought from a country station so might have just been that.

[ferni]

I have fuel cards for mobil and bp, which is good because i've heard optimax is rated between 95-98, where as synergy 8000 and bp ultimate are actually 98ron?

I will use either bp ult or syn8000, mainly mobil around where i live so thats what gets used mainly.

[Cortide]

i have a bp with ultimate right down the road... so i go there.

i used to used optimax, but last service they asked me what fuel i was using because my fuel filter was reasonably dirty. I thought nothing of it.

i've been hearing horror stories of late regarding optimax fouling plugs with the "cleaning" additives in bikes...someone was trying to tell me the same thing was happening in wrxs

But hey, BP is right down the road now, and im lazy.

[paulr33]

300kms from a full tank, r33 series II, stock everything

[Al]

Due to availability i mainly fill up using Mobile Synergy 8000 (my vote), but i always prefer BP Ultimate whenever i have a chance.

[flex]

I use Shell- Optimax.. I get ~300kms from a full tank

[krzysiu]

Shit man from a full tank i get 245 KM. My Turbo Drinks

Shell Optimax

[DavidU]

Optimax is much higher in sulphur than 8000 or BP Gold. I think they were going to phase out Optimax because of this.
