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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

howesy Member 30 Member For: 18y 2m 16d Posted 27/02/12 11:40 PM Share Posted 27/02/12 11:40 PM 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.

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.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedPro Member 45 Member For: 12y 9m 7d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/02/12 02:03 PM Share Posted 28/02/12 02:03 PM 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
