run 98 4.4 v8 it gets 15 ltr to the 100kms used 91 the first few weeks we had it and got 19-20 ltr to the 100kms
But yes Aus fuel quality is very poor really , only use high turn over stations that don't have tanks half full of water .
I drive 5kms past my closest servo because the X just doesn't like that flavour of 98 always runs rough ,go up the road and use their 98 and smooth as new

Love your quote prgsxr.

cheers mate , world would be a much safer place and the stupid thing is if you removed all warnings you eventually wouldn't need them anyway because only people with common sense would still be alive.

We can all dream, ehh.

I think it's funny that a friend of mine Ferrari F40 doesn't have a single yellow warning sticker, yet even the most base model Ford Focus will have them litered throught out. Dumb Americans who will sue anyone for anything if they can't accept their own responsibilities.

Oh well, moving on... ;)
