NATHAN BOURBON! must be the only man that can get away with calling his girlfriend a tightarse on a public forum!

^^^ hehehe

I'm with bourbon, the dockets are not worth a razoo unless you time the prices. Bugger that! Dockets are just another way to scam you into getting ripped off from these Super huge greedy, Supermarkets anyhow!

I can't stand public transport either, bus drivers don't even stop when you hail them

hapened to me when I used stinking bus to pick up my wifes car when I purchased it. dude drove past me after waiting for 1/2 hr in the freezing cold!

not from what iv seen in my 5 years driving.. bp most expensive, united worst petrol..

bourbon · 22-07-2009, 11:33 AM

and shell down in runcorn have prices at most the time 4cents cheaper & sometimes 8 cents cheaper than in slacks creek :s

70NYD · 22-07-2009, 11:48 AM

yeah the slacks creek shell, on corner of moss street and kingston rd is one of the more expensive ones. the shell that is on the service road, next to honda and nissan, is allways good priced, but i cannot get out of the damn thing any more lol

Rix · 22-07-2009, 11:52 AM

I use united because its cheaper, atm i've tried putting in the e10 they have and my car seems to be using less of it and it also makes the car run a little better. dad has run his v8 hrt clubsport on it since he bought it and he says it works good in his car. my sister uses it in her 87 astra and it makes her car run better so i guess at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference. There is also the fact that i use a motocharge card to pay for my petrol and shell charge 2% to use it

now i know why your fuel econemy is so ****! every time ive used it ive always got 100-150km less per tank

Rix · 22-07-2009, 12:31 PM

lol my thought exactly

bourbon · 22-07-2009, 01:05 PM

united have **** fuel...goto BP or shell and you should notice a differnce

Rix · 22-07-2009, 01:06 PM

how far does the car usually allow after the red petrol light comes on?

70NYD · 22-07-2009, 01:10 PM

also a note on the e10, your statment that it seems to be using less is just that a assumption. only way it would be using less is if you tuned your engine to it, otherwise it will be using more. i dunno about dunnidores ecu, but the BA one cant self tune like that.. it is adaptive but not to the point of going from different fuel types. same as when you convert a car to LPG it runs rough and spend heaps untill you tune it to lpg...

our tanks are 55L by the book but most of ever put in was 45, and that was way after the light came on, which came on im guessing aroun 40 mark..

bourbon · 22-07-2009, 01:23 PM

most warning lights come on when theres about 10Lts left....so if you push it you could almost get another 100kms out of it...dont hold me to it and not my fault if yo run out of petrol in the middle of no where

Rix · 22-07-2009, 01:25 PM

it is an assumption, but yeah its not tuned and i don't think i'll use it again, i'll get ryan to take a look on the weekend and we'll see how it goes from there.

i don't think i've ever filled up to 55L it generally stops at about 40-50L

@ Bourbs i don't think i'm gonna try that:P

70NYD · 22-07-2009, 01:56 PM

oh and if your O2 sesor is shagged, greg (astro boy) can hook u up for around 70

(v cheap mate)

Rix · 22-07-2009, 02:02 PM

thanks Tony i'll keep that in mind

Rix · 28-07-2009, 02:15 PM

i've got to be the only person in the world to leave my passenger side window open and not have anything stolen lol

my car was also unlocked when i got to it, my tool kit, mini compressor and all my stereo stuff including my ipod where still there i was so glad

NaughtyGT · 28-07-2009, 03:10 PM
