^^^ try running it for a couple weeks, guarantee will go better.

shell has been notorious for having excessive amounts of toluene in their fuels

but i thought toluene was used to boost octane in the fuel we use :S
can u explain what the bad thing about toluene is... im confused.. also i was hell bent that v-power would be the best for b18c... gah ^_- my dreams have been shattered..

indeed it does, however excessive amounts causes poor cold start as well as poor running characteristics as it is difficult to ignite

I understand now, thanks XD
so you think mobil for the win?

^^^ each to their own mate :)

i just use mobil personally as for me it has run the cleanest

yeah thats fair, although i think ill agree with you on this one. Mobil ftw!
i'm very new to the honda experience.. and i get very excited with all the little mod im achieveing gradually...
ill take any bit of useful information i can take! plus - in honesty i have definatly noticed the low Km's im getting with v-power... Grrrrr that grinds my gears!!!

n also the US use the word gas for refering to petrol n we're after Ks not mileage

dude could you try spacing a paragraph and using to some punctuation, and calm down while your at it

however i do agree with you, the b18c2 shouldnt be run on anything less than 95ron, even though it has knock sensors and using lower octane wont really damage the engine.

its just about care for the car, good fuel means a healthier engine for longer

oh and FYI putting 98 in your 95 tuned car wont give it any more power than 95, people just like to run it because its safe and ensures the engine runs well

oh and a question for everyone, whats the opinions on e10 ethanol fuel? do you think its damaging or just burns quicker?

obviously i agree about our 95 tuned engnes using 98 dats very tru but with ur Q about e10 i agree to wat "OMG.JAI xD" said down in page 1 "e10 was introduced as a alternative fuel abt 2 years ago.
Engines before then was not tested to run under those mixtures. It may work. But if something isnt prepared for it. I wouldnt use it.
Just like saying, running 20psi boost on stock motor. If it aint made for it. I wouldnt use it."
my dad also reckons it burns quicker n he gets less ks with it but not too sure never used it on any of my cars

yeah the fact it would get less k's i understand, but im sort of split on whether its actually damaging, like 20 pound of boost is VERY different to a slightly different fuel mixture.

the fuel may have only been just released but it was released with the intention on being compatible with all unleaded cars. i wouldnt be running a really high percentage of ethanol but as its only 10% im sort of struggling to see how it could do damage..

ethanol can have different effects on different cars. my grandfather started using e10 when it first came to the pump on his 98 pulsar and it ran excessively hot and the head deveoloped a crack:confused:

his mechanic warned him not to use the fuel and after swapping a new head onto it he has had no proplems for almost 2 years and 60,000

I filled up mobil 8000 on tuesday. $30 got me 3/4 of a tank and lasted me till monday :D

SHIFTY man u got shut the fuk down by more than 2 people.. time to surrender man you know nuthing, kapish..
