I live near Parra, so quite a drive then - but I just checked BP's servo locator and for some reason, Ultimate diesel supposedly isn't available at Castle Cove. Why would they keep it hidden?

maybe they're BS'ing everyone then (castle cove that is). but they have a banner out the front and i've quadruple checked with all the people that work there that it is infact ultimate diesel. i dunno

I've been running the GT TDI on Mobil diesel since day one. This afternoon I decided to try Shell diesel and I'm sure I'm not imagining it, the car actually appears to be running a lot smoother and is picking up much quicker than it has been. I just ordered some of that Amsoil Cetane boost to try in the next tankfull of jungle juice as well and I'll come back with the results.

Hi All,

I have been running exclusively on Caltex only because my novated lease company provides Caltex and motorpass cards. I use the motorpass 'cause I can also use a shopper docket at Woolworths Caltex making is a lot cheaper(4cents per litre instead of 2.5cents using the Starcard).

Since new the jetta (now 66,500km) has averaged 6.03 L/100km and performance has been great. The last big interstate trip over 4,300km ave was 5.2 with a full load and three adults. I have recorded fuel use since new using odometer reading and actual litres filled.

I'm as happy as pig in it!

Cheers
