Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 17d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 29/08/07 11:33 AM Share Posted 29/08/07 11:33 AM I admire your idea but this just won't give any sort of definative result.Everyone has a different car, with different tunes (if any), has a different driving style and drives is different conditions.

tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 29/08/07 11:07 PM Share Posted 29/08/07 11:07 PM Not true.If you dothe test, it will tell us if the fuel makes any difference to your car, with your tune and driving style.I was in a car club a while ago and we did a similar test, comparing regular unleaded to premium. While the results were different from car to car, we found that in most cars, the improved fuel economy from premium, more than covered the price difference.In this instance, after a few tests have been done, there should be a fuel that shows more improvement across the board.

I think 5 full tanks of each may take to long, are you able to change my original post to 3 and see how we go cheers.Dillon Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/37854-the-fuel-test/#findComment-569465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastR1Red Member 360 Member For: 20y 12d Gender: Male Location: Mt Waverley Posted 30/08/07 12:13 AM Share Posted 30/08/07 12:13 AM Could we maybe add the others, I've not seen the Vortex98 in my area but a lot use the United Boost98 as well.Here's mine over many many tanks cos I still do it with each batch over at least 4 tanks of fuel per run. All km are average per tank over 4 tanks. 80% city. 20% highway.Mobil800098. 450kmBP Ultimate98. 440kmVPower98. 420kmBoost98. 360kmDefinate response improvement with the Boost98 ethanol blend (after 2 or 3 tanks) but unfortunately at the great price you pay, it's 8% cheaper than the others, the fuel economy is 14% worse than its nearest rival.Country driving would be a definate advantage and with the new tune I'll be doing the same thing over the next few months. I've got a 3000km road trip end of September which will should give me good figures.
