Optimax is not a good fuel. I put it in my RX7 and power dropped a bucketload. Put 2 tanks of Ultimate and it was right as rain :D

The guy that tunes my car has a R33 GTST and says he gets pinging with ANY optimax he puts in his tank, but no problems with Synergy 8000 or BP Ultimate.

maybe, but i've heard a host of other people say optimax is bad too.. something to do with the detergents they put in the fuel.

[TheDarkRaver]

oh yeah that's what he was saying he said about the detergents I just couldnt remember what he said was in it that was causing the prob.

Must be a common idea, because when I bought my bike, the guy in the shop made a point of saying not to put Optimax in it as it is bad for bikes ?

[DVS 86]

Yup, got told here in Brisbane that I was not to put Optimax in the GSXR at any time.

Another guy got told the same thing for his R1 too.

Didnt end up buying the bike so it doesnt really matter but still...

i heard oil prices have been the highest ever since the gulf war! 60 bucks per barrel.

I filled up this morning at 94c/L for BP Ultimate (was 88c/L for regular).

Your a lucky bastard being in Qld and all because they don't tax the arse out of you at the petrol pump :D

The fuel tax in NSW is bullshit!

But hey......what can you do.

Cheers

it didnt even hit US$40/barrel mate.. dunno where you heard that.

[NXTIME]

well, $39.99 USD per gallon for Texas Crude Oil (world benchmark) - close enough to $40 USD :D:D:D It ended up closing closer to $37.50 USD.

[Beavis]

Yeah, things are heating up I guess..

I think ULP is around CFA 560 today. Diesel was up around CFA 480...

* CFA = (translation) Combined West African Franc ($1USD is around CFA600)
