It's worth it mate, they said so on 5th Gear lolOriginally Posted by Bloodyaussie
Seriously though, I get better economy and a slight just barely noticeable improvement in power using 98ron than 95 and 91. Yes you spend more in fuel but you get a bit further on it, so kind of equals out.
In saying that I still use 20ltr/100, 400km per 80ltr. Yes I know, my poor old clunker needs some love and attention

i done a trial on the work car (mitsu l300 van POS) 91 vs 95 and dollar per km the 95 was definatly better than 91. Can't remember by how much but it would be noticeable with the amount of kms you do also.

the fuel economy is definitaly better running the 98 octane. also the price different IMO is almost negligeable. do the math and youll see its only about 5-10$ dearer for the premium fuel per fill... thats really not worth squabbling over IMO

That is a bit thirsty, but were you towing in heavy traffic?
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
No ..only one day with the trailer on the rest doing country trips and a bit of local driving.
i just noticed your signature, mate im sorry to say but i dont think its entirely acurate. shouldnt it be "Member of the ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN(but i wont let her die) GQ EFI Faction of the Church of Patrology"?

G'day BlodyAussie,
Mate, I am concerned when you suffer from depression when the GQ in not working properly.
However, I know that you are a true patriotic Aussie and if you want me to, I can make a call to have your GQ picked up and shipped out to an Army anti-armour range so that the lads can practice firing the latest anti-armour weapons at it. I am even prepared to video and take some serious action photo's for you. What do you think. lol
PS, my wife and I have a 10 year old ford laser that has missed a beat that you can have. lol
Your friend,
Paul
The halls been rented the bands been paid, time to see you dance!
