Ever notice supermarkets start offering bonus double discounts on fuel just before major fuel increases? they NEVER offer them whilst the fuel price
is lower!! One would think these supermarkets actually control & manipulate the price of fuel in this country. Only one way
to sort it out, Stop buying from supermarket chains. And the quality of fuel is just absolute crap. Have noticed down here in Geelong that the
E10 signage has been replaced with "New improved fuel"??? with an added small message ( maybe not suitable for older engines) In my mind,
anyone using E10 are just kidding them selves, you will burn more E10 per klm than premium unleaded and your valve guides will shit the tin way
too soon. Now these comments are just from my own beliefs, some of you will disagree, but hey each to their own. Oh on another note,
Penrite have changed their HPR 15 to fully sinthetic a while back, and a few early camshaft & lifter failures are starting to pop up I hear that some testing is being undertaken by penrite as well as
some independant testing from oil taken from a couple of very low klm engines that have failed. I was shown a brand new camshaft and lifters just
today that had only done 100 klms and you would think that they have done 300,000 KS. they were just flogged out!! rest of the engine was like
new. A good assembly lube was applied during assembly I have allways used penrite in all my aircooled motors since the late 70's should I have
doubts now? food for thought cheers Frank
they pretty much do.

Hi Lee
Have you tried it out yet?
If your running standard compression ratio you should only need non ethanol 91 ULP in your motor.
