Yeah wtf aye, no stayed at around 100ish the whole way, tryna to keep the vacuum needle deep as possible.

mate i travel the country all speedway season invercargill to chch,nelson,wellington,palmy,rotaoua,hamillton, and the big smoke..

i do 30-40,000km.s in 6mth and have fun and get ok economy

[Guest]

I think i've done close to that once, dunno how i did it but im 99% sure i did.

I've managed 600kms to a tank a few times, strictly hiway driving.

Around town is 400-450.

Not at all worried if i only get 300kms, that just means im having a fun time doing it Hah

All of the above is with a close ratio box as well, 100kmh at 3200rev

Just did about 380kms on a $90 fill of Mobil 98. And when I mean full, I mean any fuller and petrol would be running down the side of my car etching paint off!!!

Going up north Boxing day with a 20 litre drum (as well as a full tank) as the last 98 is Quay Street? Am I right?

Wish I could take more but its just more weight and more $$$. Octane booster on standby?

[Guest boostin]

There's always Gull Force 10....

[chrisjunkie]

Right and thats in Whangarei yeah? Is it any good does anyone know?

[Guest boostin]

I've used it plenty of times with no issues, and that was on 17psi boost. I did use it exclusively for quite a while.

[chrisjunkie]

oh sweeeet! Be cool to make own octane booster too though.. methanol much?

[driftrex]

i use nothing but force 10 in both my turbo subarus, one of them i have done around 60,000kms with, and for a while on 18psi no worries.

[chrisjunkie]

Not bad feedback then. Must go get some on the way up/down - probably down

Currently browsing NASIOC about 5-10% ethanol/petrol blends

Eh, hell no. there's 98 ALL over the shore. And mobil oteha valley (albany) has the lowest 98 price in auckland (there's a number of stations with the same low price though). There's also BP 98 on SH1 in dairy flat (just north of albany). Damn city folk. Whangarei used to have bp98, but i dunno if they still do, they've been pulling it from all sorts of stations since last time i got a drop of petrol up there.

[chrisjunkie]

DUH my bad. Of course we filled up there on my run-in remember! But what I meant was north of AUCKLAND eg whangarei. Force 10 sounds ok

[ReubenH]

Just looked up their site. furthest north BP 98 is now whangaparoa. fail. Northern most mobil 98 is oteha valley. Fail.

Out of curiosity what sort of kays per tank are people getting out of STis as a comparison to Legacys...

Im particularly interested in Type Rs.

Not a type R but an STI type RA, same close ratio box in both.

[Shale]

I heard that Force 10 was not recommended for imported Subarus. A few people seem to be running it absolutely no issues. What's the expert report on that one?

[Guest boostin]

They don't recommend recreational drugs but plenty of people do those with no side effects....
