Default Has anyone else noticed cleaner exhaust tips lately?

Might be an odd comment, but both myself and my brother over the last couple of months have noticed a significant reduction in carbon build up on the exhaust tip using both Caltex and BP 98 Octane.
(Cars are BA XR6-T and LV XR5-T)

Thought it might have something to do with that chemical change they made recently?

Anyone else noticed?

I can't say I have but now that you've mentioned it you might be right. I did put a thread up a couple months back about fuel smelling differently.

It seem popular opinion is that Ferrari Fuel is crap.....we need a poll.

Nope, my TDCI exhaust tip is blacker than Cathy Freeman.

My Subaru pings it head off on shell 98 and runs perfectly on BP and Caltex, so I second the notion of Ferrari fuel being rubbish

Yeah I remember reading your thread XBROO, I thought it could be.. It might just be a complete coincidence.

I never use Shell, and I use BP whenever I can over Caltex.
