Hey Guys, I searched the forum and found this got brought up once before and everyone seem quite happy to run E95 and up but since the only thread I found was from 2006 I just wanted know if any long term problems have come up with using the ethanol blended fuels in the T's?

One guy used in a fleet of cars for 50 000kms and has heaps of dramas.

Not so many on the performance side

Obviously the car is designed to run premium fuel. Ive heard of a lot of issues with pinging and general performance reduction (Also idk if its effected anyone but E95 is less lubricating on your motor so keep that in mind). Honestly I recommend BP Ultimate, its the only thing ill use in my car.

I don't think I would ever run blended fuel in mine even if you could I was just curious mostly. Ive only ever (for the short time Ive owned it so far) run it on ultimate and one tank of Shell's V power. I haven't used 95 so I don't know what the comparison is like.

got well over 50K on mine and mostly used E95. Car runs great and seems to actually go harder on it. I tried 98 and it actually ran less economical and had no more power on it. I swear by E95 however mine is a stock tune series 2 not sure about custom tune jobs can only speak for myself.

E95 or E10?

I've used the E10 (10% ethanol, 95 octane), ran ok, slightly worse fuel economy than normal 95 (which they say is to be expected)

Also used the premium 100 (10% ethanol, 100 octane) ran fine, same fuel economy as 98

when I had the stock tune in it, I ran e10 for a trip to Canberra from Sydney, very good economy on the freeway. around town it was terrible and reduced power. now I run BP ultimate, but it was tuned on Caltex 98 (maybe that's why power was down??)

my car, BF2 has a tag on the fuel lid "E10 compliant" or something. I ran it a couple of times, pre-tuned and it seemed ok. I used to run my fairlane 5.0 NF on e10 95 for several years and didnt have issues. I mainly did that as the it would ping on 91. I think in the mid 90s standard unleaded was 95 octane.?

Yea never use 91 on the turbo as you will get pinging and my personal opinion is caltex 98 is rubbish, id rather put shell 95 in but my order is usually bp ulimate, then shell vpower and if I have to because im running on empty ill go vortex. I did see 100 octane the other day and was also wondering if that's even better for performance?

Ive never seen the 100 octane. Where was it?
