Premium Diesel

[yddiz]

Just tried the new Caltex Vortex Premium Desiel in my 2.5lt T5 much smoother acceleration and when cruising accelerating is a lot quicker in 5th or 6th gear. Fuel consumption seems to be the same in city traffic, haven't tried highway, I think 10c per liter extra might be worth it as Caltex say it cleans the injectors. Any other feedback would be good:

I don't know if the premium diesel is any better then normal diesel, I've tried it a couple of times now in my 2.0 Tdi and really didn't feel that much difference in performance or better fuel consumption.

Whereabouts is this available ?

[Mister_duck]

Not every caltex station sells the premium diesel, I only know of about 3 service stations in sydney that sell the premium diesel

I purchased mine at Caltex Woodville Rd Merrylands.

How many miles on the Van mate, as I figure it's going to help clean older diesels, thus the performance increase, but with a newer car, well good luck. I have noticed zip with BP ultimate, but it's all most BP's up here sell now.

I thought Canberra was the "heart" of Australia Greggo, strange you guys are so far behind QLD. Damn shame....

Naah, the problem with Canberra is everyone else in Oz sends us their rejects - they stamp them as a "politician" and ship them over so we can look after them. They're always getting into mischief and making stupid decisions, and then us innocent Canberra residents get the blame, as in "Canberra did this", or "Canberra decided to do that".

When we got the chance we even voted against self-govt, as we knew that would just be another lot of politicians to be getting into things and making a mess (and they did and still do).

Most of the time our prices are much higher than elsewhere too, as if it costs so much to truck stuff that extra 2 and a half hours from Sydney.

One thing we have got going for us is much less traffic problems - I go to Sydney often, and hate the way a minor bingle there can create such long lasting chaos.

Dammit! I wish they would hurry up and release it here in Sydney.

Yeah the Caltex Diesel Vortex does squat all.

Don't fret it bud, I was born in Canberra...but thankfully was shipped up here to QLD shortly after. I do keep my place of birth on the down low though....
