Best petrol for DC2R

fuel discussions like this are pointless.

Its all dependant on what area you are in, and what servo you get your fuel from.

I've run ultimate from my local servo and only gotten 400km from a tank, highway driving, but from another one, 550, exact same driving.

Also vice versa with v power.

What you really need to do is determine what servos are in your area of filling up.

Then get a tank of of each and see with what one your car runs the best, and stick with that.

^^^ Agreed - this quality of fuel is very dependent on the servo and how often they re-fill the tank.

If you go to a servo that is always quiet there is a good chance you will get old fuel - the longer it sits in their underground tanks the more contamination it can get.

I use Caltex Vortex 98 in my 2 cars and they run fine, my Mrs prefers BP ultimate in hers though, so go figure...

This isnt accurate. bp ultimate at different servos also gives me different kms/results. If this is just a friendly vote then i think people will generally go out and get BP ultimate but i dont see any pros to it. Fuel quality is at the servo tank underneath itself. hope that helps

I recommend taking a dump in your fuel tank over using v power.

The above points are correct, but I do consistently find poor results with v power. Actually never a good result (from multiple areas). From what I've been told its just the formula they use that gives it a poor shelf life compared with other servos but even so I doubt I got old fuel everytime.

Basically any premium fuel other than v power is good IMO.

See, this is why threads like this are totally useless, and all opinion based. Because myself, and my mates both get consistently better results with v power over anything else.

And we live 500km apart.

I use E10, car runs fine with no problems and pulls hard

Caltex BioFlex E85

85% Ethanol
15% Petrol

But u need to get the car tuned for it.. But the power differences are definitely noticeable.

And its cheaper than your average 98ron

I thought its called E85 because it is 85% ethanol?

anyone tried united 100?

**senna** · 22-03-2012 08:41 AM

Its fine, but doesn't give you any benefits unless your car is tuned on it or the 98ron tune is right on the edge with extreme timing/boost - the 100 will give you a little extra knock protection....
