Hi guys just wandering what did most of you Z owner in Australia Fill your Z with?

Vote your First Preference and Write your Second Preferences on the Forum please

 

1st BP Ultimate, 2nd choice either Optimax or Synergy depending on what's available at the time.

I actually time my fills to make sure I can get BP. Can't actually remember the last time I used something else in the Z. May have actually been on the way home from the dealer (bastard gave me an empty tank).

 

I normally use Mobil as the servo is right around the corner from my house so its convenient. I have always (last 10 years or so) used it my bikes and have never had a drama.

If im elsewhere Ill usually look for Shell.

In Newcastle there really arent that many places that have premium anyway.

You also forgot to include things like Elf 104!!!!!!!!!!!

As always

is Elf 104 exist in australia? Because i never seen one in Melbourne. Is that with 104 RON or 98 RON?

 

I use any 98 RON fuel..they all seem equaly good.

I tend to use the local shell since it's close by... i have no preference to shell though.

 

I wander people that owned an LS1 V8 cars said the Optimax is crap. Is this true?

 

ypwpat, Elf is not available at your local servo. It is a high octane "racing" fuel.

As always

I don't think it's crap. I have heard that it's less consistent in quality than other 98s though. Don't know how true that is.

As a previous owner of the thundering LS1 (Clubbie R8/280Kw modified) there was an opinion that Optimax was the last fuel to use as its get its 98 ron rating by using additives where as Mobil and BP distills there's to 98, a more consistent brew.

I used to own an LS1 before the Z and the car ran great on any fuel...in fact it loved crap 91 octane once in a while.

Work that out! I still have a few friends who won't let go of the V8 bug and they say the same. Standard fuel maps work well with regular fuel.
You use to much shell or BP 98 oct and it seems to underperform. Put in some crap fuel and the car comes alive for one tank full of gas.

As for Shell optimax, I agree there seems to be some inconsistancies in quality.

 

yes Shell is a blend whereas BP is produced at their two refineries - not sure about Mobil.

BP also has the highest quality standards and is the cleanest.
