Petrol use..

I must admit i do drive the car hard now and then... but i mean this is killer! 😮

I'll check what happens after i get the car dyno'd next month.

The overfeuling because of the BOV may also cause a problem, right?

I am starting to think it may be the petrol, after posting here and a new tank of petrol my petrol use went back to normal, I think they sell us 93 octane when the 95 is up....

Ok i've driven my car to the yellow empty line(the needle is more or less in the middle of that yellow line...) and i've done about 350km...

Thats not right! what can I do??

fix it???

When you go fill up I think you will only need to put in about 52 Litres. I think I should fill up at a different garage to see what consumption I am getting then.

I just wish there was a quick easy way to test the octane level, I dont get angry easily but you will see me kak out a filling station owner if I see them selling me 93 instead of 95

What is the highest octane that is sold in SA? Here in the states most places sell 93 octane. A few sell 100+ octane.

you can get 102.3 racing feul from specialist stores in 20l drums.

otherwise the pumps have either 93 or 95.

I can hook up avgas - think its around 110 octaine

what detrimental effects would this impose on your motor, dont know if its the best choice for reliability

and what type of mods should one have in place?

avgas is lead based so if you got any AFR meters they'll deteriorate very quickly...

my buddy is a pilot and he saves the little bits he collects from his pre-flight tests and he throws that into his corsa, burns nice and white! but the car has started smoking lately, but i reckon that is just from the abuse he hands out.

hehehheheheh.... lol
I am sure I have said this before?? w/m=116 to 120 octane.
No leaded sh.....and bla bahawhaaa.

Sorry, sorry, I wont do that again. Not nice of Chemcool 😳 😳

Chem 😳 I just enjoyed the day out on the event today with all the dudes.

Hey guys,

I hav a similar problem - I'm only averaging jus over 6 km/l!! After filling up I can smell petrol in the car but can't find the source.

Checked injectors - no leak, Checked tank in boot - no leak, checked under the car - no leak.

All i can think is that the breather system might be leaking or something - I'm gonna have to get this sorted out cause even though I drive it pretty hard - the fuel price is killer!!!!

Luckily i ride my bike as my main transport - atleast the beast gives me about 15.5 km/l even though I rarely do less than 160kph on the highway.

Oh, and my fuel gauge does the exact same thing - drops slowly at first and then form about 2/3 to 1/3 very quickly....
