What Fuel Do We Recomend


Recommended Posts

Drive KMs on end just to find a BP with ULTIMATE, only to find how long my Fuel light lasts.  

BP everytime!

If not ill goto a Shell

likewise to find optimax...... only used optimax in the 2-3months ive had the skyline, but only optimax for the last 3yrs in my SP20, with regular service never had a single problem

Check which refinery sharing program runs in your state to find out what fuels you really buy. Most of the premiums come from the same refineries for all servos in some states.

I think it's a better idea to buy from servos with a higher turnover for 'fresher' fuel.

Shell for me as it has the highest octaine rating at 98.4, but otherwise BP which is rated 98. These figures are accoring to the latest Fast fours and Rotaries Mag.

This topic has been done - do a search! :(

I use BP ultimate only for the ceifro. If I absolutely have to I'll use optimax.

In my daily and previous leaded car I only ever used optimax.

Stay away from the fake high octante (I think it's vortex or something that's not 98ron?)

Definately BP ultimate. Like most people use optimax as a 2nd choice. As someone mentioned you need to pick a servo that has higher usage that way the fuel isnt old. I found BP ultimate to be more consistant that optimax.

I dont think its a matter of skylines being tempremental, but and turbo car its fairly important. Most people here have some sort of mods, and running leaner and with more timing and boost than from factory it is more important.

I've been using BP Ultimate for about 3 years now, no problems! But according to a test done in Autosalon magazine about 2 months ago Shell Optimax had a slightly higher octane reading (98.6) compared with BP, Mobil and Caltex (98.5). They claimed that their tests were done by an independent laboratory.

"Oh no, it's the cops!"

"Worse, the police cops!"
