Well folks, Australia officially has the worlds dirtiest fuel. Three times the amount of sulphur in our fuel compared to the rest of the world. Most countries have banned a whole bunch of undesirable chemicals & additives used in manufacturing, but good old Australia is happy to keep the codes & laws from the 1970's. It is hard to put a price on the damage caused by the rubbish we run our cars on, but high sulphur content kills motors long term. PPM levels for 91ron are 150ppm. Our 'clean' 95 & 98 ron fuels have 50ppm where as European fuel is 10ppm. We desperately need to refine our own fuels again instead of sending it to Singapore for refining & buying it back to add octane boosters. Many car builders will not be releasing certain motors here for this reason. Surely there is a market for real quality fuel?
