What i meant to say is that Shell is not as clean burning as Mobil 8000 and BP Ultimate(so i was told!!) and therefore prone to more deposits than the other fuels mentioned.:)

Back during the days where I washed the car every 2 weeks, I couldn't really tell a difference (I alternated between Caltex, Shell and Mobil). I think it depends more on how much throttle you use. The heavier the throttle, the richer the A/F mixture will be which will result in excess carbon coming out the back.

BTW, just remembered that I missed your phonecall the other day. Been so busy with work and moving house when not at work. haha. How's things been?

Just in case it's not clear as mud yet: Shell's premium fuel is called V-Power, Vortex is Caltex's premium fuel brand... but of course the poster shortened the reply and just said "shell vortex" right? ;)

They have plenty of vpower here, sometime last year, when they were short on vpower, I went back to vortex. I use vortex when I first got the car, then switch to vpower.

So its either vpower or vortex for me.... but I go for vpower because of coles 4 cents discount and flybuys points.
