100 % Octane in VS Ute.

[Andreas]

I am currently trying 100 % Octane from United service stations in my 2000 S series 3 VS 3.8 Ute. Cost $1.45 ltr, this is the replacement for 98% octane.
So far noticed increased performance, more responsive have not finalised litres per 100km yet.

Is it available at all united service stations. Wouldn't mind giving it a whirl

Wow, $1.45 per litre. I would be hard pressed to find 98 at under $1.60 and I'm only an hour north of sydney.

Isn't it a ethanol cocktail though?

I believe it is. There was a Shell fuel a few years ago that was 100 Octane and used up to 10% octane, this is basically United's version of the same product.

The car I had before the Commodore used to love a 60/40 mix of United 98 and regular United 91. (I was too povo to put just the 98 in at the time) but I'm uneasy about using any Ethanol fuel in a VS Commodore simply because it wasn't designed for it. That's just my personal preference though.

Yes has ethanol mixed in, and yes available at all united service stations. This is my second tank will let you know if anything goes kaboom.

Unless ur vehicle is tuned to suit the fuel U will notice sweet fark all difference....

Motor won't go bang but u will use more fuel as its got ethanol in it.

What the hell is 100% octane? Octane is not a percentage.

Because it's not the right way of saying it and you look like a twat when you say xx% octane. At least OP knows how to say it properly now. I have doubts about the cheapness of that fuel unless it's e85 in which case its going to cause a lot of issues. More then likely it's 98 with 10% ethanol.
