Fuel Consumption

I found V Power the best. Vortex burnt to quick and BP was too unpredictable.

Any one tried E10? Currently running either 98 or 100oct, but the difference in price is getting bigger. Nearly 20c per litre. Since I'm saving up for my mods, this maybe the best area to cut back. I mean it's like 10 bucks every refill.

I was very surprised as i used to do everything to avoid using SHELL after reading few negative comments.
Recently i tested all fuels and to my surprise, v power came out on top!

Interesting. I stopped using Shell a while back, used to use Optimax in my old Accord Gen 3. The V-power used to produce a lot more soot that blackens the tailpipes, BP Ultimate burns really clean.

Pretty aure they changed their formula lately, they now also have a new "fuel economy" 95 octane (see? who says bitching and complaining don't work?). Iirc they added the same types of addictives ala vortex/BP ultimax.

I used them lately and they were better than the old Vpower. But I still prefer vortex/BP ultimax

E10 see's a slight loss of power from 98. Don't think it's much different to 95 though. Not in terms of power anyway. Will keep updated in regard to eco though.

A bit off topic, but is anyone running Nitrogen in their tyres? What is its effect on fuel economy, if any?
thanks.

I am,
cant feel any difference

[roony]

is it supposed to effect the economy? All i heard about it was it doesnt leak out like air, thats it.

it's more stable under temperature variations

EG: 35 psi is 35 psi no matter it's 20 degrees outside or 35 degrees outside. so to speak

[roony]

ah i see. thanks

I'm running nitrogen on the Michelin's at 36psi. Can't say I notice much difference to normal 70% nitrogen (normal compressed air). Drove to Toowoomba today at about 80km/h and averaged 6.4L/100 most of the way. I use BP98. Heavy as shit rain is reason for so slow. Still wouldn't touch that Shell shit.

Seriously who puts that crap in a Euro. Though to those that do, how's the pinging????
