what petrol are you using for a b18c2?

95 is satisfactory.
91 or 92 might and will cause pinging during take off or under heavy load. Not recommended. (however the b18c has knock sensors. Itll overcome that, But i wouldnt use it still)
98 and above is the best choice.
Providing a steady burn all the time every time.

Dont use ethanol mixed fuels. Mixed opinions on them. But IMO 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.

Company? I only use BP. Never had any dramas with it. They way i see it. Is if a petrol station needs a "Save 4c a litre" Then it probably isnt that good.
BP has never had to do that. Unless with their bp mastercard.
Though again it depends on the owners of the stations and how they maintain it.
I only go to one BP ever.
So if i ever have fuel related problems with my car. Out comes the lawsuit.
