diesel! whats diesel? just joking!!even normal diesel cars didnt exist in oz until about a year ago.due to petrol price rises in oz (about $1.15 a litre now).theres no ford diesel here but we have an astra and golf diesel cars here now. is v-power a higher octane diesel?

I've been on the lookout for this stuff but havent found any yet in the Shell stations up here (Though i might try the one at J40)... same deal with the BP Ultimate Diesel too. The BP garage at moortown doesnt fookin have it

ford1 It was called Optimax previously, they just changed the name. You may know it as that
