What fuel do you use?

I'm going to change to united E85 soon, see how that goes.

You're a show off

When are you smacking the 1/4 with your non V8?

Hi guys, recently picked up my Redline and was wondering what fuel to use. Was wondering if anyone had noticed any significant differences between fuel brands etc?

Congrats on the Redline

My Redline was tuned on Shell V-Power however Bp Ultimate works just as good.
I've used United's E85. It runs fine, performance wise feels basically the same as the other two except it obviously burns faster... 50-100km less per tank, though it's $.30 cheaper.

+1 for BP 98. I never use anything else.

Bit different on a boosted setup, we're looking at around an extra 40-50rwkw with mine, wouldn't bother in a N/A setup.

Haha no but as a vehicle that advertises it I tried it. Will stick with the 98Ron.

Most of the time I run mine on United E85.

I've run both VPower and BP Ultimate in my V8's and found the VPower to be better.

Then I saw this vid, it kind of confirmed my thoughts. I know it's from the UK, etc etc.

Your mileage will vary depending on what state you are in.

Always buy from a high volume servo and don't top up on "tanker day".

Heres another Fifth Gear test of a similar nature. Octane Boost.

My car is tuned to ethanol, and there is a measurable increase in both torque and power. The L77 does not use 30% more across all driving conditions BTW, tuned properly it only uses about 13% more on the highway.
That means with 98 I get about 620k to a tank at $125 a fill = 20¢ per k. e85 gets me 550k to a tank at $88 = 16¢ per k.
I've found e85 in a tuned L77 gives better performance, 40% better CO2 emissions (no probs with emissions control systems / test), saves me about $40 a week, but as the yanks say, YMMV - your mileage may vary.
