[pihlor]

just wondering if its good to use the premium stuff for my car like 8000,6000, v-power,bp ultimate cos i was told its not good to use for my car
do u guys kno if its okay to use on a regular basis?

[akusuma]

6000/95octane should be alright
8000/98octane i wouldnt be taking it in that often,
avoid high ethanol blended fuels as they change the ignition properties of the fuel. (this includes the unleaded E10 fuels they also sell)
i myself have an ek and take on BP ultimate once in a while to cleanse the engine as it has cleansing agents.. helps increase fuel economy! Hehe
god combination with normal unleaded
i probably take on say 30L of unleaded & 15L of BP ultimate.

Increase fuel consumption??? :confused:

[aimre]

u car doesnt need it, nor can it make use of it. Dont bother...

i know with my mates 01 zx6r, if he puts 98, the bike shits itself, starts backfiring, running like crap. Use what honda recomends in ur book

how would bp ultimate on a carby GL be? or would 6000 b betteR?

noted on all my cars i saw a benefit of 98 fuels. More power & silghtly better milage. All depends on the car though.

When i was NA my car ran better on Vpower, now it seems to run better on Vortex98, go figure.

Just try it and see what works for you.

Was always told that my gf's car a 96 CSI Corolla would not see any benefit from 98 fuel, we tried it and it ran better and got about 80km extra milage.

Only thing i won't try is ethanol blends, as i've read they can stuff up your fuel seals

no worries

Awsome!


helps increase fuel consumption.

LOL

You can use premium, Ultimate, Mobil 8000, Vpower and Vortex98. Your engine will be fine but your wallet won't.

cos the 40L of fuel it takes to fill a civic and the 10cents more 98 octane fuel costs, so $4, isn't worth the cleaning properties, cleaner burning, smoother power, more power and more milelage you get from better fuel. i say get you fuel on monday or tuesday while prices are cheap save that 10 pea a litre there and get the good stuff for the same price as fuel later in the week.

well been using the premium stuff since i got my car in december it seems to last longer as in the tank and it seems to be cheaper than using regular unleaded cos usually i have to refill twice to make it thru a week (full tank then 20 bucks) as with 8000 a full tank last me a full week of driving to tafe and back which is from narre warren to hawthorn (40 kms) so im more than willing to pop that little bit extra $$ and plus make the car feel faster

yeah but i think aaron just saying there is no problems with using either of them, cause some questions arose that some might damage ur engine..

but yeah, i think there is better response using better petrol, but yeah.

i always mix fuel =\ lol
cause i fill up 10bucks with say 2000, then 2 days later, fill 15 bucks using vortex 96 n la la la lol. cause im cheapass =) and i just find the nearest petrol station
