Filled Up at BP Balga This morning still had some left.

this is fucked. Need to get the car tuned in the next 2-3 weeks. Will obviously be needing 98 as that is the fuel i will be using.. might have to buy a drum of something for the time being..

If you use your car as a daily driver and you CANT get premium or Ultimate, you CAN run your car on regular unleaded as a stop gap measure until premium fuel is available again.

If you do run your WRX or STi on regular unleaded, the following steps are very important:

1. DO NOT load the engine up in a high gear, especially up hills IE full throttle 4th gear at 2000rpm will cause detonation.
2. DO NOT use full throttle at any time.
3. If you can afford it, use an octane booster, but still follow steps 1 and 2. You can never be sure how high the octane will be when using an octane booster, because all brands are different, although it will be safer than using plain regular unleaded.

Those with aftermarket ECUs have to be even more careful of these measures, because the engine will be in a higher state of tune.

Your engines are equipped with a knock sensor which will retard timing in case of detonation, but it wont prevent ALL detonation. Some aftermarket ECUs do not utilise the knock sensor, and more care will have to be taken.

Remember, this isnt the end of the world, and you can still drive your WRX until premium fuel is available again.

You're not just a yeast infection are you Joe.

Cheers for the good information.

Just makes you realise that BP have us by the short and curlies, pretty shitty situation to be in

UTEC owners can have a snigger here.. they can switch maps on the fly and have one map tuned to 95 RON

make more horsepower with the factory map anyway
