What fuel do you use?

[Casper]

Well, with the massive increase in the price of fuel lately the "I'm not paying $1/L" has given way to "I wish fuel was only $1/L"
That, and the price of premium hitting $1.25 on a regular basis, has added a massive cost to filling tank. No more $50 fillups form empty, the last one cost me $80!!! :togo:

So, who has stuck to premium and who has had the reality of economics force them back?
(Ive stuck to premuim 98Ron in the XR but its starting to REALLY hurt now, 95Ron is starting to look good)

[XDSLIDER]

I only ever put Mobil Synergy 8000 in my tow car and drag car.
(But it always helps when your boss is paying the bill)
: Just please don't tell him!!!!!! :

[geckoGT]

BP 98 but reconsidering, the gecko is getting thirsty and expensive.

[T2TL50]

ALWAYS use Caltex Vortex!!! It has always had it since the day it was bought.. why not keep it going? Must run with prem Never had any probs... so will continue untill the day i go back to a 91 octain car:P:P (when hell freezes over 6 times str8)..

Tho the Jeep Wrangler does well on fuel.. Only 91 tho:P:P

[dansedgli]

98 Ron for both the car and bike. Lucky I have the bike, $12 for 250kms out of premium fuel is awesome! In the AU im lucky to get 250kms out of a full tank :(

[neb]

it costs me an arm and a leg to fill up but i only use 98ron wherever possible, mainly bp ultimate because its close to home

[EFFalcon]

LPG for meeeeeeeeee... u have some LPG and i'll have some toooo.
vroom vroom

[Twisted]

Ive been using UL in the falcon lately due to costs but with my next car that wont be an option and ill be back on PUL.

[xceler8shun]

my last fill up was $92 for optimax, ultimate just became way too expensive

although it is an 82 litre tank in the ute and the XR8 just loves to drink it, i get about 550-600 out of a tank, but the injectors need cleaning and i could do with some new spark plugs and leads as well, just to make it run more smooth

[FTE217]

98Ron...but company pays for it...yipppee

[Perana]

BBQ FUEL (tm) for me.. nice and cheap! not so good for performance though lol

[GTP 320]

I usually use Shell Optimax or Mobil Synergy 8000 for the beast and spend about $400 a week on Diesel.
Cheers John

[gtfpv]

drove to work in the GT last night 65kms each way total 130kms 16ltrs/100kms =20.8litres @ $1.20 ltr = $25 for one day to go to worrk plus rego, ins ,maint ,interest payments, wear and tear. all off net income after tax .. expensive hey and times that by 5 for the week. have you seen those stories on tv where they say thaverage family spends $150 / mth on petrol . more media and government lies. i also have another car which my wife drives to work try $ 800/mnth just on petrol net.

[TheSneakiness]

Regular Unleaded every time I fill up, even though Premium is about $1.07 here I think... it will get that as a treat.

When I get a balance line in, BBQ Fuel will be the priority.

[Dark Horse]

Prices haven't justified me attacking my fuel card just yet, RON 98 all the way.

Casper, maybe if say you filled up instead of going $80.00 figured if they round down, go the extra 2c per fill up. So if you fill up once a week that's an extra $1.04 worth of free fuel in your tank every year.

I suppose you already do that. :evilsasmo

[JAK]

We only use 98 ron, BP or Optimax. Fortunately I have a fleet card to use every now and then.
Can I use regular unleaded in the GT even though it has knock sensors,if so for how long??

Cheers, JAK.

[The MaDDeSTMaN]

Premuim (98 or 95Ron), with valve additive in the Escorts, regular doesn't have enough octane in it for engines designed to run on super.

[seano14]

premium.. the LTD has a freakin 80L tank too!

after this tank im gonna try normal unleaded and compare the km's. the premium was $87 for 75L!

[Danny]

98 ron only for the Fiesta. Usually BP ultimate or Optimax. Only costs about 45 bucks to fill so it dont worry this man.

[Whitey-AMG]

LPG all the way baby................. :hihi:

If the ESP was on petrol it'd be @$90 per fill with the 80 litre tank.
Bugger the minimum loss in power........I ain't payin little Johnny that much for the pleasure of sitting in peak hour traffic on the way to work.

P.S. There's nothing like that clean smell of LPG whilst the Clevo is warming up on idle in the morning............. _2:

[MO]

Both the ute (I6) and the xr8 run on pulp,costs about $150 pfn on average to fill both for a fortnight. All country running.

[madmatty]

i always use premium in my xr8 98 if i can get it
bloody rip off but i hate that pingin noise you hear from everyone else.

even using premium in the work hilux,runs awful on standard,lucky the company is paying.

[darkfang888]

regular 91 all the time.

[rodderz]

Always 98RON here, usually either Synergy or Optimax. Have to as the Unichip's tuned to that fuel rating

Luckily for me I have a Motorpass so I dont take much notice of fuel prices...but if i did have to pay for fuel, the $120 a week would be very straining on the mortgage!

[Psycho Chicken]

BBQ fuel!

[XAGSV8]

Optimax with a squirt of Valvemaster for the XA and the Mini, crappy unleaded for the Pulsar.

[Envy-T]

Always 98 in the XR and doesn't it hurt. I hate watching the dollars go up quicker than the litres! ouch! :

I can't wait till someone invents the internal combustion engine that runs on ****, cos beer is cheaper and alot more fun! Imagine filling up in the morning after a big night, overflow I tells ya. _2:

[GlennBA]

BP Ultimate, we have a company fuel card for bp for the XR, and just regular petrol for the AU.

[BJ]

With a 120lt tank in tha XC it can cost a bit. But i now use BP which is now $1.14lt where as Av-gas is $2.25 a liter thank god i dont run that any more. I get about 8 miles per gallon in the old money. I dont care what it cost though and never have if i did i wouldnt drive the bloody thing.

[Dez]

petrol prices have dropped here lately...even though they are still high at $1+..

but i filled up this afternoon on my way to work (1pm) for $1.01 at the pump at shell for ULP....then 5 hours later it was $1.09 for the same petrol at the same place....

minus the 4cents per litre, so i filled up for under $1/L! yay
