New United Premium100

[RG]

Has anyone else tried this? I put a tank in in Albury today and OMG, it was RUBBISH.

I had serious issues with it, without exaggerating I would estimate that I lost 50-60rwkw on this fuel. The issues were so serious in fact that If I gave it to it in first it wasn't able to rev out all the way. I had to back off, let it drop into second and then go. Anything over 1/2 throttle would make it bog down and just go nowhere.

Economy was also despicable, I got near 500k to a tank of BP Ultimate on the way up but only 300 on the way back. I reckon a Hyundai Getz could of taken me on the 1/4, it was THAT bad.

The servo I got it from was reasonably new looking and before anyone says "Must have been a bad batch/rubbish in the tank/filter" I filled the tank in Woodend with BP Ultimate, got 5 k down the road and all my power was back and she was apples again.

I know it's 10% ethanol but I just haven't experienced fuel this bad before, I gave it a boot twice with this stuf and tried to stay out of it as much as possible until it was gone, the detonation under WOT was scary.
