Hello all,
Does anyone know the availibility of 95+ RON petrol in Tassie. Having been there before, but only required normal 91 RON for the hire AU last time, I have no idea if I'll be able to get decent petrol in the (almost) deserted South West corner. Anyone done a lap of Tassie in recent times? I am going over there late August to mid September. Any advice appreciated! Thanks, BA_Turbs

Not sure about the SW but Hobart has 95, good luck getting 98 though.

In tassie you can pretty much get 95 ron everywhere, but there isnt much chance in getting 98 at all, unless you homebrew...

I realise I will probably go ok in Launy and the 'Bart, its more out in the sticks I'm worried about, that was why I was wondering if anyone has driven a lap in the near past? The car doesn't mind a sip when booted and the roads over there certainly lend themselves to being tackled with an aggressive style... In those hills 350 kms to a tank is probably realistic.

Youn can't get 98 from a pump in Tas . You can buy it in drums from a couple of places.
95RON Premium is available at every servo, so if you can't run lower than 98, stock up on the Nulon Pro Strength, because you'll need it.

Yeah, the turbo will run on 95 or above.
In fact, it will run on 91, just not as well. Thanks to all for th replies!
