Sounds like I must give this vortex a test trial. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12837 following link was a massive discussion on which petrol is better for your car.
tried it. not much difference from the BP, but it was cheaper....
Still think the Shell pulls harder even if i get abit more black bits around....
Depends on car I think... For my car:
- Shell Optimax runs worst
- Ultimate gives my car extra pull over Optimax
- Synergy 8000 is just as good as Ultimate, but not as efficient
- Vortex (95-96 RON) is better than Optimax (which is 98 RON)
- Vortex 98 RON I would expect to be on par with Ultimate, although I have not yet tried it
All 98 RON petrol is better than normal Matty, give it a try. Once you try you won't go back. Ever since i introduced Optimax to my GF she uses it all the time! and she only has a CSI Corolla!
well i have to say that yoru GFs pouring away money :D :D :DQuote:

All 98RON fuels are cleaner than the rest - so, environmentally, there's less shit in the air for starters. It contains more Oxygen, which as I would think you knew, creates more fire, thus a bigger bang in your combustion engine, which, no matter the car, equates to more horsepower... Which means you use less throttle (therefore, less air is consumed, and less petrol is used) when you accellerate at the same level
Lol ease up now fella's :)
I filled up on vortex today!! just regular vortex tho, feels pretty good, at least as good as optimax!! And it was only 91 c per litre coz i had a docket :D
Buying premium isnt a waste of money, because:
1. You will get further k's per tank eg. i got 70 k's further on bp ultimate compared to regular unleaded! thats around 5L or so....
2. Reduce pinging!!
3. Increase throttle response and overall smoothness of the driving!
4. BP Ultimate is good for mother nature :D
1. im sure she aint filling it up for a cleaner environment :confused:Quote:

The reason that she is filling in the 98 ron fuel is that first it make for better acceleration and second it does actually give better milage. If your too dumb to notice the difference then you just keep pouring the normal unleaded stuff.
Oh on more thing... Mc Chook was not excatly correct but the theory is there.
All fuels contain hydrocarbons (CxHy).
The general equation for the combustion of a hydrocarbon is;
CxHy + O2 = CO2 + H2O + energy
Thus the greater the octane the great amounts of hydrocarbons, which allow for more oxygen to be burnt and thus increasing the energy produced. And so you will always produce more energy/power from a higher octane fuel
my lawn mower even runs better with 98ron fuelQuote:
