I put in Mobil 8000. Only petrol station that ain't PACKED on a Tuesday...

Mobil 8000 is the purple one right? That fuel is awesome, can feel ur car a bit faster.... haha, but mobil is so rare, CBB driving so far to one to fill up.

i agree. im lucky, theres quote a few mobil fuel stations around my area, car feels moer responsive running mobil 8000. bt i get more fuel economy out of v-power

yeah.....street is mugen twinloop and stock ecu...
track is Mugen N1 exhaust which have no cat no hotdog but only a little muffler at the back....70mm all they way.....with Mugen N1 Ecu which idle at 1000rpm and fuel pump on at all times....thats why...but you feel like driving a different car tho......when I put the street parts back on I will feel so slow....lol

Mobil Synergy is great!

Power is more responsive whilst you save on fuel consumption

BP Ultimate only gets better if you use for the long run, but when you ONLY start using it, it wastes fuel faster

Also, guys how do you fill up? Do you clunge it all in, or do you do it slowly? Because putting petrol slower is a benefit right?

Off track, but anyone in Sydney with a stock b-pipe they wanna sell?....pm me

BP Ultimate or Synergy I get 530-550km

Shell I get 480-500ish........big difference, but you can get the V-power anywhere between 4-8 cents cheaper, so its all relative I suppose!

All just regular driving with a little vtec here and there!
