I'm guessing that this topic has been done before, but it's the first for me.
I've been using Premium fuel for years, in the Territory, the Honda and the SS-V. BP Ultimate and Caltex 98. In the Territory and the Honda I could feel no difference and notice no fuel economy advantage between the two. The SS-V has only had the tow fuels, always filled from empty, and I think that have noticed a difference. The first time was on our Adelaide to Melbourne trip; BP to Melbourne on one tank with about 80 km left in the tank. And Caltex 98 back to Adelaide, again one tank but this time with 120 km left. Now this could be anything -wind, speed, etc. So I though nothing off it. A couple of days ago I filled the tank with Caltex 98 from the Woolworths station. After about 10 km I noticed that the engine felt like it was spinning up faster and with a different note. I could be wrong, or it could be the slightly cooler air temp. But it is a nice surprise. Thing I might stick with Caltex for a while. Anyone else notice any difference in fuels? What's the Ethanol fuels like?
