i use ultimate and synergy 8000, they are pretty equal. I want to move to vortex 98 but serzly, i havnt even been into a caltex that has it... :S

anybody have locations around eastern suburbs that stock vortex 98?

hrmm ..

any around the hawthorn, balwyn, box hill, doncaster area?

in my experience with fuels. ive had my car for nearly 2 years and ive come across all of the fuels u can go by.. 95RON, 98RON 100RON even 91 wen i had no choice..

out of the main ones in discussion vortex 98, bp ultimate, shell optimax (now v-power) and mobil synergy...

by economy (distance per tank)
- vortex 98 (450-500km)
- mobil synergy (close 2nd - upto 480km)
- bp ultimate (up to 450km)
- shell optimax / v-power (420 or less)

by power
- bp ultimate
- vortex 98
- shell optimax
- mobil synergy

the diff in power are only slight.. but noticeable to me since ive had the same car in the same form for a while..

conclusions..

best of both worlds is a close call between vortex98 and bp ultimate..
the new v-power is better than optimax.. but stil gets poor economy imo..
thers hardly mobil in my area.. so i dont really use it..

verdict..
caltex vortex 98 is my #1.. mainly due to the fact u save 4c per litre.. if these vouchers dint exist. itll jus depend on where i drive past first.. caltex or bp..

they is one in macedon plaza in doncaster area. keep going down sam's house on station street. but i wouldnt just go there to fill up. im pretty sure they are lots more. caltex stations around my area have all intro'ed vortex slowly. just wait abit, plus you dont drive anyways so no hurry ;)

Ferrai uses Shell in their F1's, besides the fact that it's "F1-grade" fuel, the only car i remember that uses BP is the Bathurst BP RX7.

Do Vortex98 contain ethenal?

Btw, I use V-Power everytime as I shop at Coles, and never had any problems with Shell fuels. But I have heard of negative comments about Shell, but that's just 'comments'.

It is optimax or V power they use in F1 cars ? :p

F1 cars use vortex95

another vortex fans lol

just my 2c

i was using 100ron Shell with the ethanol blend for about 6 months. I dont drive the car much 50km a week if that. I dont pay any attention to mileage because i dont really care, and dont drive much anyway.

Last Saturday i filled it with BP Ultimate, and i gotta say the car does have more urge, revs out smoother and faster....

Shame there arent too many BP's in my immediate area
