mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Legacy Donating Member 1,724 Member For: 20y 1m 13d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 15/12/08 10:18 AM Posted 15/12/08 10:18 AM I always try & use Caltex 98.Have found the other fuels to be a bit inconsistent sometimes. No pinging just muting the performance a bit.Then again it could be just me or the air on the day.

Only little thing is that when I use caltex I get alot more black soot all over the back of the car compared to bp or mobil, but can't pick any performance difference. Russ

Legacy Donating Member 7,935 Member For: 22y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 15/12/08 10:37 AM Posted 15/12/08 10:37 AM I used to only use BP Ultimate, but the local BP increased the price to 15c p/l over ULP, so I switched to Shell V-Power. No reall noticable difference. I can however notice if the wife has put in normal ULP into the TTG.
