    yep used some in my Levin the other day..still getting used to the car, so couldn't actually say if it felt better or not.. but should have access to a dyno..i want to try different fuels/timing setups for the best alround power..

    there are only a few in brisbane that have it.. the ones that i know of

    - Shell at garden city (on kessles rd)
    - Shell at sherwood

    it has a 5% ethanol blend, absolutley fine in 4AGE's but i wouldn't use it in a 300 000+ km one..and i would not use it in a 4AC..

    Yeah, sounds awesome but don't forget where in the land of the rising petrol, how much is it a litre?

    Cheers

    unless you've got an ecu tuned for that type of fuel you're throwing your money away

    I wont use shell anymore...too much sulphur for my liking. Car runs better on ultimate anyway
