hey all

i am a new member to these forums, but have always been a member of antrx.com as imaspy. i have been living in japan since feb 05 and am in love with all the great models that we dont get in australia. of course its fair enough, we are such a small market, but even toyota is not dorky at all here. am current;y curious in importing a nissan stagea when i permantly settle back in melbourne again, mainly becuase they are everywhere here and of course, so cheap.

i dont have much time to browse the forums (maybe once a week) so apologies if i seem rather scarce on these forums.

thanks and have a good 2006!

regards

drew

Welcome to the forums Drew :) I think you're the only member in Nagoya at the moment. Care to post up some pics of the Nagoya area? I ask because even though I spent over 5 years in Osaka/Kobe, I never once went to Nagoya... only viewed the city from the Shinkansen station.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
