Which petrol is best??

[Guest AJ69]

I currently use Shell Optimax.. but i been told by a few people now that mobile synergy is better ?

what dop u guys reckon?

or is there something else out there thats better than these two ?

[Fitzpatrick Speed Works]

i find the BP one is quite good so is the mobile 8000, optimax is my least favorite cause i know how they make it and that it isnt a true 98 RON fuel:( But its still better that ULP:D Avgas with toulene in it goes really good but thats only on special ocassions:uh-huh:

i also use potimax cause it is supposed to be the best? isnt it? when i bought my car i was told to stick with optimax rather than any other brands.

[Silver-Arrowz]

Optimax was reported to cause problems with the fuel systems in some cars and bikes. My old WRX went through 2 fuel pumps but I can't say it was Optimax. But I use BP, then Mobil, then Optimax.

Hey silver-arrowz so what do use now to fill up ur GTR? what do most ppl use now at the moment?

[Silver-Arrowz]

BP cause it's just down the street.

[croat]

fair enough.` u just scared me when u said optimax is bad and problems have been perorted with it.

Ok, my truth is....

And dont laugh...

I use a special blend... I have to tell you the secret ingredent or you will all think im crazy using ULP

.. OK ...

1. Nulon Octane Boost & Clean

2. Mobil Regular unleaded

then... wait for it....

3. 500ml of Metho...

The reason is all fuel, no matter where you buy it contains water in it. Maby only 0.2% but its there and it will wear your motor if the quanity gets high... So i use metho to soak the water and as you know metho burns... Allot of spray painters use it.. Because for some reason allot of water seems to get into fuel tanks when their getting painted or baked??? But anyway metho is not good for the engine either but its better than water and is only a tiny proportion.. So then i use Nulon Octane Boost & Clean to lubricate or over compensate the dryness of the metho and it also boosts the octane up to a Premium level at the same time...

I have proven these results at TAFE on a 5 gas analizer...

NOTE: I have included a chart that shows the best octane boost's to use on your car... The Nulon octane boost & clean can be bought at any Super Cheap for $9 per bottle and one bottle lasts 4 tanks... But i use one every two tanks and i get heaps more KM's per tank when using it so it pays for itself... OKIES

yup

WA's fuel regulations for emissions etc are stricker. Which means it is refineded to a greater standard and has less additives so it burns better and works more efficently when compared to other fuels in Aus.

Wow finally we get the good stuff b4 any1 else:shake:

I use BP Ultimate and nothing but, imho the rest is just crap:D

[Doctor]

Nismo can you tell us the ratios of metho you put in?

Thanks,

Doc

[Guest nismogtsx]

Doc,

just throw in 500mls....

I put it in with a full tank...

But make shaw you put it in last, because metho is a heavy liquid and will work its way to the botom of the tank and will suck any moisture up with it... Okies..

I usually fill to full on the way to wrk and then will throw 500ml in when i get home, as theres no room for metho once the tank is full... Sound easy, well thats cause it is....

Cheers

WA petrol is better  

Troy that nonsense is only so the Petrol companies can charge us more. How many times have you filled up at different spots and noticed the difference in your cars behaviour .. lots I bet.

This thread is a can of worms waiting to happen:(

I also remember seeing, somewhere, sometime, someone had done some proper testing on the fuels and BP Ultimate was consistently over 98. Optimax is rated up to 98.

:lol:

i used to use optimax and nothing but for a while. then i used bp and nothing but. result, car still used to work.

nah seriously, i've heard so many different stories and tips and whatnot. at the end of the day each car reacts to each fuel differently. some ping more on shell while others ping more on bp. you just have to find the right fuel for you. a knock sensor always helps. that's how i found the right fuel for my old car.

i recal something along those lines too. something about bp having the cleanest & highest octane due to lower additives. they also are the ones that sell the pupl to all the other companies.

if you have a spare $8 a lt get C16 race fuel........
