Hey, welcome.

If you use the 'search' function, you'll dig up this Info in more detail if you're curious. Try to use that from time to time to help you with questions. If nil, you can always ask them here.

To answer your question, Yes. You can use either 95/98. You can even use E10 if you want.

Size of your wallet? Come on its only 1.35 a litre from BP98. Thats nothing, when I went overseas the country I was in, 91 was $3.85 a litre and LPG was $1.68. They pay more for LPG then we do for 98. Ever since seeing those prices and coming back here, petrol looks like its free. :lol:

I can't remember where the study was done..might have been a RACV thing...but they compared the 3 usual ron's over multiple tanks/a few 1000ks/variable conditions.

The results showed that all 3 worked ok (knock sensors help) but importantly, the cost differential was minimal as the engine uses the expensive stuff more efficiently....or something along those lines.

Boxerboy is on the money, $/km, the're pretty well pound for pound with one another.

I found with my last vehicle(that was designed with a min octane rating of 95), that it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that economy of premium wasn't all that great, but in fact I found that it was my driving style that adapted with the use of premium, ie I liked the additional 8kw and tended to use it more :rolleyes:

The big advantage is the additional cleaners that are in Premium.

If switching from regular to premium, don't expect to see full effect of either power or efficiency for at least 3-4 tanks, ecu has to adapt to the increase in octane and make the necessary adjustments.

$1.35 for BP Ultimate 98?!!!!! are you for real? Were paying that for normal 91 in Tas and 95 is around $1.44 -$ 1.46 and 98 is like $1.55!

We went for our cruise yesterday and we filled up in a mining town and i was too scared to look at much it was a litre, just filled it up till it stopped and paid the bill :S

Has to be said the fuel economy was pretty impressive, after 700kms of Tasmanian back roads the L/100 for Chris's car (Paradigm) and mine was 10.1 and 9.5 respectively or an average between the 2 cars of 9.8! Pretty good!

Hi msmani, you do realise that the 200kw produced is achieved using 91 regular unleaded,and 204kw is produced using 95 octane. I personally use nothing but 95 octane as the difference in economy more than makes up for it.As VF-X stated the aurion is more than happy/capable to run on E10 with no repercussions on the engine,fuel system, in fact we find using United 95 E10 the beast absolutely hauls **** pulling hills,and it has so much more go,there is no pinging,it idles beautifully.

There is a big misconception that E10 is no good,but overseas they use E85 (85% ethanol) they have no other alternative. So if the 2GR-FE / 1GR-FE can survive on that over there, say no more

Filled the tank up with E10 the other night by accident because it was late and I didn't read the pump properly. So far no complaints. There really isn't anything wrong with E10 in new model vehicles, all that scare a fair years back was just the usual fear reaction you get when anything new is introduced.

That being said, I normally prefer 95-premium but filling up on a friday evening even just the E10 made me baulk at the prices.

Have used the E10 myself but having done the run Brissy to Syd a couple of times trying out each I have found the car does way better on the 91 at least. It does do a little better on the pulp but not enough to make up for the cost difference. Costs me more to use the E10 than I save in the price difference between that and the 91.

lol, you poor thing :P. Yeah it was 1.35 when I filled up few days ago. Best of all that this BP is like 3 years old which means brand new underground tanks(less contaminants) and the BP is very very busy so fresh batches of fuel always get delivered. Win win! :yahoo:

Only the best for the Aurion :toast:

The cheapest i can get Shell V-power(98) is $1.22 after discounts. Shell are apparently have an extra discount this month. Spend $5 or more and save 6c per litre. So in total i saved 10c per litre but it you will only benefit the discount if you refuel around 55L+

I tried E10 in my previous car, a Landrover Discovery 3, and experienced 10% worse fuel economy than I got with normal unleaded - when you consider that its only about 2.5% cheaper it didn't make much sense to me. Personally normal unleaded seems to do the trick as I dont use the full 200KW very often :)

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      It sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
