My mistake.

I guess that's because of the tune.

I've been duped, someone just stuck an sti sticker on it and sold me the base model


Maybe I'm wrong than, but I'm pretty sure the 2006 would only take 98, but the 08 were slightly de-tuned, and had slightly less power than the 2006 ones and the sticker say 95.

But we saying that, i've only put 98 in it

While on the topic, does it really make a difference on which brand of 98 you get? I usually get either BP ultimate or caltex vortex 98, jut becasue they are the closet, or seem to be always on my route, ocasionally shell v-power.

I thought as long as I avoided the united'sand other random small ones i'd be ok

I personally like Caltex E-Flex.


There's nothing wrong with United. The stuff all comes from the same place and one company is as likely as another to stuff up the delivery.

I like the v-power from shell, used it in my S14 200sx for almost 10 years and now use it in the liberty, had a couple bad batches of fuel from BP in the past so won't go back to using the Ultimate, and recently alot of Mobil servos have changed to 7eleven servos so won't b going there! is it safe 2 use the E85 on out cars? specifically the 2.5lt turbo motor?

Not unless your car is tuned for it and you change a few vital parts. Ask coyote he knows that shit back to front
