*spins the bottle...* ;)
again, i just think it's a personal choice, convenience and experience... and maybe price. :D i've still yet to see a comprehesive study dun comparing each fuel, and unless sumone links us (mentioned this already), i'll stick to my Optimax, cos it's convenient and i've never had a prob before. oh, and for those ppl wif residue on their bumpers from using wotever fuel, y don't u just get a muffler that extends past ur bumper a lil more... hehe... like mine which sticks out heaps! problem solved and u can use wotever wifout a worry ;)
Just in case you fellas want to know, and not directly related to the topic at hand, genuine Honda FEO oil is made from Caltex, but of course branded as Honda's own. Honda Australia has asked Caltex to blend their oils so as a side note for all you fellas, a Honda service dude said that Caltex vortex 98 octane (which just came out in the recent month I believe) is most recommended for all Honda's, especially VTEC engines..
:p
Most recommended for all Honda's? do you have a source?Quote:

Resurrecting an old thread here...but with the price of fuel seemingly continuing to go up, I actually considered "downgrading" to BP Premium today (95 octane). I've always used BP Ultimate (98) but it is getting kinda pricey, but in the end chickened out and pumped up with Ultimate once again.
I've read some reports that for a 1.6 non-VTEC GLi Civic or a 2.0 CR-V, using 95 octane is actually better than 98 as those engines aren't designed to use anything higher than 91? Not sure how true this statement is. Does anyone know??
If it is non-vtec, 95 will work. AUDM non-vtec engines were spec'd to use 91. If modded, at the intake, then it's wise to use 1 step up. If all you have is an exhaust mod, then 91 is ok. If you have an aftermarket ECU or piggyback, go 98.
i've always used shell optimax. 450kms per FULL tank (45Litres) ! "BUT
the otehr day. i cbfed looking for shell anymore. so tried bp ultimate.filled up 50bux =36Litres - i have driven 470kms !!! still got abit of petrol left in the tank. i dont know wtf happened. i think i'll be using bp ultimate from now on
Hi everybody,
Spoke to a friend (my manager) who only uses BP. He drives a Magna v6 station wagon. I have experienced his driving, he does not go above 2000rpm ehehe!!! He told me that a full tank on BP (91 Ron) consistently gives him more KM's than Shell (91 RON).
How do I know this, because I was in his car the other day and he was driving around on empty without a care in the world !!! He said he gets about 480-490 km per full tank on BP while about 450-460 on Shell and not to worry and I quote " Still plent of petrol on E". HEHEHEH
Just my two cents on this topic :)

okay, "definitive guide"...may be surprising to some
the best 98 octane petrol is caltex vortex 98
mobil synergy/bp ultimate are a close close 2nd/3rd
last is of course optimax (destroyer of many engines)
my source comes from a thread on MRT forums researched (dyno tested and fuel efficiency) by the main man Brett Middleton.

he doesn't post up the actual results due to various legalities, but he does infer quite heavily that caltex vortex is number 1
