Super and Standard, Ampol, Golden Fleece :)

You'd buy petrol based on which brand your favorite racer used - mum loved Moffat so she got Ampol. Dad hated him so he went (Shell I think it was)

Couldn't even get him to switch when Ampol was selling Smurfs with each tank

(actually - may have been BP that had Smurfs - neither of them would go there)

Before it was at the bowser. In the mid to late 80s I use to go to the jandakot airport in Perth on the weekend and the guy would fill me jerry cans with AVGAS on the tarmac. BP100 rings a bell. I think it was about 70c per litre

Can't remember it at the bowser but do remember driving my RX2 straight into Bankstown Airport and filling up with AVGAS.

Good times !!!

Smurf was BP. When I met my wife she had "nurse" smurf bluetacked to her dash. Thought it was weird until she started playing nurse with me.

Yeap! Pinging around at high rpm chews the fuel,

On the highways it sits at 3000rpm 100klm and 3240 115klms

Around town sits at about 2500-2700rpm and feels like there's a fuel leak, but it's worth it :)

Bastards need to pull there finger out and get e85 here already, been on the planned list over 4 months now.

When I read about people mixing fuel it amazes me, having the ethanol sensor shows just what is left behind even though the tanks supposedly empty!!!! And the afr gauge reflects this. Currently I'm running 4% higher ethanol then was tuned on and it's showing LEAN!

Prepare for the comments but how long could you drive a car on eflex that is tuned on 98 without damage only under light throttle?

It's more so that it won't actually run, it will be mega lean
