there is no high oct unleaded petrol around Belingen,Dorrigo etc only tractor fuel & basic unleaded,
Do you run the FJ on premium?

Some are very fussy on fuel & have seen some long faces when they can't get their favourite flavoured petrol,
if you wan't High octane, I would fill up before leaving the pacific highway, its not far to Belingen from there,
the others will have to have what's there, there is only 2 servo's.

The only reason I'm advising the Friday night in the restuarant, is by Friday, you may not have a choice as it may be booked out  :empathy3:

Most certainly do only run premium, don't and won't run anything else  :good2:

Thought I`d let ya know I`ve pre booked the Bellingen Taxi to extract me from the pub at 7pm to return to Bellingen Lodge. (with some packaged refreshments ready for Saturday arvo). Not wanting to be held to a schedule, I didn`t book a time to go down there (from tha Lodge), but the driver tells me that the service is very reliable (read quiet) in the late afternoons. (Happens ta be a maxi taxi too! Phone 0266583856).

I'm curious to as to why, I don't believe it's the recommended brew. I've had a few tank fulls through mine and the only difference I noticed was in my wallet.

Geezz your game,

if I go any where near the pub, it will be game over for riding Saturday :bad:  :crazy:  :wacko3:
I have this little problem of not knowing when to stop & hate seeing a good pub go to waste by leaving before close  :diablo:

A dozen or so stubbies before diner, a big feed & some red wine, will hopefully stop me fitting any more in & go to bed early (in the morning :blum2:)

Mmmmmm, just went on another test run after putting in the new exhaust gaskets. No more tick tick from the old gaskets, just lovely induction noise and turbine smoothness, coupled with scarily rapid acceleration  :yahoo:  Gave the chain a wipe over with a rag, no more splatter either.

I just filled up yesterday with premium unleaded. I only do it because on the bike its only $2-3 more to put the good stuff in, and I reckon Noel it does give me a few extra kms per tank. I haven't done any proper sums to back this up. Plus the Premium is supposed to keep the fuel system/lines/carbies cleaner etc, unless everything the fuel companies tell us is bull. I don't normally use it in the 4WD, gets a bit expensive then, but in the FJ, its only a couple of $$ more.

Oh Oh  (popcorn), lol,

We generally run 95 only don't know if it does give more k's or not but as Ray says its only a couple of bucks extra, don't run 98in it and definitely will not run ethanol in the bike or the car much rather walk then use that crap  :sarcastic:...... umm maybe not  :wacko2:
