  Thread: Fuel experience
Post: RE: Fuel experience

Well I only use BP Ultimate because a BP servo is handy to me. I don't think running another brands 98 fuel would be detrimental. Just make sure it's from a servo that looks like they would sell a bit...

For what it's worth, I absolutely love my petrol! So smooth, quiet and quite a set of the proverbialls for an SUV! I previously owned a 400+kw car and I still get a kick from the refined power of the ...
