Re: Octane Sensor?

Absolutely. but why would the Gillard gov. care. I mean all they have been doing for the past 24 months is to get the carbon tax on the table :S I was told by my dad that Shell has always been very sustained with their quality of fuel. I suppose I will stick with that then :)

Re: Octane Sensor?

Put Shell 95 in the S70 and she went like a dream. Yesterday, Caltex Woolworths was cheap so I put 25 ltrs of 95 in and the engine management fault light came on again, but the cars goes OK. Unlike all the other Volvos I have owned this one seemed to like the Shell best. My 740's and 240s' hated ...

Re: Octane Sensor?

Rightio, thanks. What about fuel with ethanol? Is it going to lots more corrosion inside the engine?

Octane Sensor?

Just wondering if my MY 97 S70 2.5 20V has a octane sensor? I have been putting the highest grade of fuel, and recently come to a realisation that it does very little difference in mpg compare to lower octane fuel e.g. 91RON. is it just money gone down the drain then? Should I stop filling up with ...

Re: Question about fuel.

Since I've done a lot of work on my ride this year and it's close to 250K miles, I've been putting premium fuel in to help keep stuff on the inside cleaner. Since the typical price between low grade and top grade is 20 cents a gallon, I figure an extra $3.60 a tank is well worth it.

I am thinking ...

Question about fuel.

I recently did a $30+ purchase at Woolworths and got a Caltex 4c reduction voucher on fuel. (guys in Australia would know what I am on about) For that reason, I filled my 1997' S70 2.5 20V (135,000km) with Voltrex 98. Somehow the car feels very gutless, and running a bit rough too. I normally fill ...
