Ek gebruik normaalweg Shell V-Power en kan nie kla nie en Sasol 95 as jy kan kry want nie al die garages het die 95 nie :think: :think:

I have found that on my Diesel and Petrol I get easy up to 10% and more km/L on Sasol then any other product, I plan my refills around Sasol garages in Guateng.

The only other product that also gives me more is Total, Shell and BP gives me the worst km/L.

And with V6 I need any 50km more I can get, although I did not buy the V6 for its great Petrol usage.

i can certainly vouch for Sasol's fuel economy - got 11km/l on Sasol on my KZTE with mixed town and highway driving (did not push it over 120km/h - with all the cops and roadworks!)

I find my old donkie (3.0D) is more responsive when using Shell diesel. The previous 2.8D did the same.

Jaco, julle manne ken mos nie Sasol daar onder in die kaap nie, noudat jy hier in die beskawing bly moet jy kyk of dit nei beter kilos gee nie. As ek na die terugvoer kyk, lyk dit my op die nuwe motors maak dit verskil, maar nie op die ouer modelle nie.

Stem gaa nie werk, kom ons kry so paat manne wat 2 tenks sasol ry, en dan 2 tenks iets anders, dit sal seker so maand neem, dan post ons die feedback hier.

Ek kry verseker vir die alledaagse ry so 550 per tenk met Sasol, en sukkel om by 490 km per tenk uit te kom met iets anders.

Dalk is dit die Blou bloed wat net beter werk met die Blou Bakkie

Sal maar by BP bly, nie net omdat ek vir hulle werk nie maar omdat ek regtig glo dat die Ultimate additive die beste is van wat beskikbaar is in SA. Lees bietjie hier: http://www.aa.co.za/home/press_room/ite ... rship.aspx

Jaco(Suidwes), is dit waar dat BP se 500ppm diesel eintlik 350ppm is? Ek het so amper 2 jaar terug dit iewers gelees, maar ek kry nie die plek waar ek dit gesien het nie.

Spartan... us Kaapies do have Sasol... I have heard that the majority of raw fuel in SA comes from a single source(imported), except Mosgas and Sasol... and then the oil companies add there own additives and sell it under there brand name... Shell... Total... BP... Engen... Zenex... Caltex... etc... can one someone here confirm this?

Any low-sulphur product will do

The ones comming from Sasols Secunda plant is the best quality you can get as this is produced from coal. The only problem is the ones in Gauteng come from the Natref plant which is a joined venture between Sasol and TotalFinaElf.

So if you are in the Secunda area you automatically get low sulpher :)

A buddy of mine is a Chem Eng at Engen's Plant. They test petrol all the time (all brands) and he has found Engen LRP (the red hose) to be higher in octane than any of the other brand's lead replacement product.
So on my petrol Landy I use Engen's red hose to fill.

I filled my KZ-TE for the 1st time since I got it yesterday and used Shell V Power diesel as Sasol is too far away to be practicle (this is not Gauteng).
But I agree pay the extra for the lowest sulfur - worth it.
