+1, Sasol fuel is defiantly cleaner.-Prometheus- wrote:We used only Sasol in the old Volkswagen and everyone who inspected it said they never saw a cleaner engine. Yes they may all add whatever additives they want but there is also the stuff that gets in there by itself, Sasol is just cleaner in that regard. This may be due to them using mainly coal and gas instead of oil.

Re: Petrol
Meh, fill up at a reputable garage where you won't get water and debri in your tank. That will do more for your wallet than anything else.

Re: Petrol
Petrol will go up next month guys-it's too much of a surge in the oil price with a slight drop in the Rand/$ to avoid another jump.

Time to buy a scooter and ride that to work. 40km/l is impressive. And I save on km on the big bike.

Re: Petrol
I buy BP because ... their garages are the neatest and cleanest. Everyone else looks dodge. Also... my handbook says to use 95 octane minimum, so no choice there.

330i has by far the best performance per litre of most other cars. Fast and does 9 litres to the 100.
Yep scooter sounds like a plan.

Re: Petrol
RiaX, the problem is that it is a heavy car, and the huge amounts of torque I have means I don't have to push the engine as much as you do. I waft along.
Ruad, it's the price I pay for wafting

Re: Petrol
@GrayWolf: Agreed on that. If I had the money I would also waft around in something of my choosing rather than something of necessity.
