Hey guys, currently im using Shell Optimax, i reckon its the bomb digitiy, im getting about 100kms more than regular, so its lasting heaps longer, but im wondering, what you guys think about each different petrol, i know safeway plus is the s**t of s**t, what about premium? and where would i get my hands on high octane? or is that the same as optimax? i love heaps of power, and with that i know that ill get more Kms
 so what do you guys think? and yes i will be watching A Current Affair tonight to see what they think, but who knows best for a ford than you guys!
cheers Jason

I find that using Ultimate Optimax and other 'Performance Fuels' don't do s**t, I don't get more kms out of a tank, if anything less. Doesn't increase performance. I'm happy with the regular unleaded, I just go to Mobil or BP.
I might watch TV tonight too, I'll see what they have to say. Ben |

yeah nar, i find that i get a good 100 kms out of it, usually when pushing my car all the time ill get 300kms, and with optimax i get 400
makes a difference, normal driving ill get 450 on optimax and 350 on regular

The unavoidable pinging (at any load just above idle!) is the first thing I notice But thats life when youre up near 12:1 compression.

avgas isnt good for regular use on a fairly stock motor.
BP98 is the only fuel you should use. |

Me too.. great octane rating also. The V8 will be running LPG VERY soon, also on stupidly high compression

I would think even with 98 ron it might ping as well. ghiaman |

Ive used BP Ultimate 98 for ages now and yeah it gets my tick of approval!
My XR responds alot better on a 98 octane rather than a 91!
It may be expensive but if you can afford it then use it!

Yeah thats true Waggin very true!
 I suppose the performance side has improved.. cant say for sure about economy... I do too much bloody stop - go driving!
Also having duel fuel has its advantages as well
