I know it prob wont make a big difference but thought I would ask anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel is not filtered well or something. Apparently they did some tests and I think bp was top with caltex and shell was one of the worste. Just what I have been told.

Run what you will be using normally. BP seems to be popular with lots of drivers; I use it also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but I will take Pauls word for it! He tunes lots of cars so he should have a bit of an idea I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went back 2 weeks later with a fresh tank of Shell 98 and and the final result was 362 rwkw.Luke G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
