a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 How will 95 affect my vehicle? Most cars that currently use premium unleaded 96 will run just as well on premium unleaded 95. A few will show an increased tendency to ‘knock’ or ‘pink’. These are likely to be mainly pre-1990 European or Australian cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meh, I ran on 91 for a year before realising 96 was the correct fuel, didn't really make much of a difference. You'll hear your engine if you get pinking, sounds like a bunch of pygmies with little tiny hammers hammering hard out on the block.Bah, I hate being completely oblivious to what happens in the news Edited November 30, 2005 by Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) Dammit I fell into that trap also. Filled right up at my normal pump on the way to work, then noticed it was 95! Grrrrrrr! I asked the dude behind the counter and he said they'd run out, but that BP Rangitikei is still offering it. Now I go there for my 98. Due to higher than expected demand for BP Ultimate and an unscheduled maintenance outage at the refinery in Western Australia that makes BP Ultimate for New Zealand, we currently have a product shortage. As a result of the product shortage, we have temporarily replaced BP Ultimate with Premium Unleaded at a number of sites around the country.

m325i 709 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 BS there is any real diff between 96 & 95. Whats the premium in Germany? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 I have no idea of the difference, other than 98 being very low sulphur content. As I have a nikasil engine, that's important to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattA 164 Report post Posted November 30, 2005 1st of Jan is when it becomes law, 96 - 95 is not really any differnet yes you lose 1 octane point but the fuel is cleaner so will burn more efficiently. I know most Shell stations have been pumping 95 for about 2 months or more. cheers Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted December 1, 2005 Are you guys telling me that 98 is no longer going to be available ? Been out of the news loop recently so I have no idea whats going on. I have noticed though that 98 hasnt been available the last couple of times Ive filled up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted December 1, 2005 temporary shortage i thinkBp still says 98 will be available at 104 sites... It is important to note that for people wanting a higher octane fuel, BP offers its premium 98 unleaded BP Ultimate at 104 of its service stations across the country.

a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted December 1, 2005 98 will still be available at every BP that has it normally. 95 will be there where 98 isn't and nowhere will have 96 anymore. In Germany and most of the rest of Europe they have 95 as the standard and 98 as the other choice. Never seen 91 in France the whole time I lived there. I've got no better fuel economy from my last two tanks of 98 than I did from 96 so for the 7c/L price premium I ain't gonna bother... will have to suck it in & swallow the 95...
