95 premium unleaded in general/Caltex

Hi guys!

just wanted to know and gain some feedback knowledge on 95 premium in general; is good? and if the 95 premium is good at Caltex?

thanks guys.

what do you define as "good"? Are you talkig about from a performance perspective or fuel efficiency perspective?

It runs fine, doesn't ping and isn't any less fuel efficient than 98 which is why i don't bother with 98 any more.

unless ur car's tuned to use 98.. then don't switch

Please search, there is already a thread discussing petrol.

100RON is actulal better


Not sure if Shell still has it anymore.

Where do I get e85 (wait wtf is e85)

e85 is ethanol 85 (85% ethanol), I haven't seen it in Australia before, you usually find it in other countries.
I think its more common in Europe.

95RON is good for most later cars, European cars are apparently all meant to run on it for better economy and less pollution.
lots of cars that are 2000+ have a 95+ octane recommendation. I know my 03 Jazz does.

98RON though is the best as far as economy, performance and availability are concerned.

According to my manual for the late 70's, my car can handle anywhere between 92 and 98... I'm pretty scared to use 98 though :|

you can get e85

e85 is good for boosted cars, + kw yo

but for d15bs no need for e85

you need to tune your car andget injectors for e85

you'd need upgraded injectors and a tunable ecu like hondata s300.

not worth it for na imo, maybe if its a dedicated track car.

So if you are building a car, build it to suit E85 then you will have heaps of room for extra mods on normal petrol and reap the gains of E85 later if you choose.

E85 is good has an octane rating of around 106
It's only available at a small number of servos
It is cheaper than regular petrol however it burns 30% quicker
You also need to upgrade the fuel system components

95 octane is fine on your EK1 engine.
