Gull force 10

[Gonad]

OK so I've been driving about the North Island all last week. I generally use Mobil 98 or BP "Ulitimate" as anything lees seems to induce "pinging".

All is going well until my last fill in Paramata mobil. The pump is locked and I have to go inside. The guy informs me that Mobil is changing all their 98 to E10 and all their 91 to E3.

He also told me that the government in their infinant wisdom is introducing rules that all service stations have to sell a certain percentage of "E" fuel and that all stations will soon have E10 or whatever and good ol' 98 will be a thing of the past! Tell me it ain't so!!!! Please.

Sooooo anyway he pulls out this list, asks me the make and year of my car and apparently I'm all good. His list says than any Toyota pre 1991 is shit out of luck for the new 98 and mine is '92 so I'm sweet. Fishy I thought as the GT-4 was made from late '89 to early '93 so what happens there. Anywho I fill up.

Only to google it today to find that pre '91 relates to NZ new only and Jap imports are stuffed if older than Sept 1995.

So now do I have a tank full of fuel eating away all my lovely aluminium and rubber bits? Who knows. more importantly what is someone in my position supposed to do when fuelling up if all servos only offer E10 instead of '98. Maybe mister Mobil man is FOS but he told me he thought it was absolute crap..

So do I use E10 98 and hope for the best or use new E3 91 which my car is supposed to be sweet with and through in some Octane booster?

Help, this appears to be shit, hopefully not true and I can just use BP ultimate 98 instead from now on.

Thoughts?

Dig up the other old thread that was about this, pretty sure somone said that stations will either need to meet the requirements with one fuel, or across all their fuels.
Something like that

I wouldn't waste your money on octane booster either, unless you plan on adding a few to each tank they don't do much at all aparently.

and they screw your oxy sensor

They only boost it by 0.5 of a octane or something.

Better off chucking some Toluene in it. Cheaper and way more effective

Ya read all that stuff, some stuff useful.

However, what are you supposed to fill your car with when 91/96 detonates and 98 wrecks your fuel lines.
