that could be ur problem, not many ppl i kno like shell fuel. very dirty.
clean the tip of your exhaust then run a tank of shell and u'll see ALOT of black sediment around ur tip.
also a mate of mine (with a 02 astra) tried that new V-Power Racing
100 octane rating (with 5 or 10% ethanol).
its only available in 10 or so places in QLD. (dont kno about rest of AU)
his car ran like a bucket of SH*T (cost 145.9/ltr sooo not worth it)
same thing happened with the normal V-Power but not as bad
got him to switch to BP fuel either 91 or 98 Octane and no worries.
Moral to the story:
Shell = dirty & bad
Ethanol = Eeeeevil![]()
