I've switched from Shell Optimax to BP Ultimate, the car feels smoother..... may be its just me.....
From all the petrol threads I've read, I find that most like Mobil Synergy 8000 or BP Ultimate. Optimax has mixed reactions. Some say it's good, some say it's bad.
I've tested all the 98RON fuels in my Euro, and I find that synergy 8000 runs the smoothest, followed by BP ultimate. Don't like Optimax, but I only get it cos of the 4c/liter off coupons.
bp ulimate sux donkeys balls, use it in my car as wat a waste. car was rough, jerky etc. neva use again.
optix is alright. synergy 8000 is the best. car is smooth and feels more responsive
hmmm funny i found this post...
im currently running shell optimax on my ITR as recomended by the previous owner...
but i've noticed that recently there's black soot/dust on the rear end bumper near the muffler... seems i'm not alone... other forums i've read seem to suggest that optimax is dirtier that synergy / ultimate...
might try mobil .... shell has alot more servos around the area i drive thou... so making a switch mite prove more troublesome for me... but yeah if its cleaner burning fuel, i'm more than happy to make an effort...
will report back n let you guys know
optimax doesnt seem as good as what it was 5 yrs ago...
i found the black dots yesterday too... but this is the first time ... been fillin up with BP Ultimate for a few months... so i guess its time to go the mobil way ...Quote:

are Jazz's meant to run on ULP or PULP?
ULP. look up your jazz manual. 91RON is sufficient.
Just Optimax it... You can't go wrong :D
the european model requires 95 but 95 over there in lot of the northern european countries is just plain unleaded over thereQuote:

is it wise to keep changing between the ulp and the optimax one?
Anyone done a taste test yet on which is the best petrol? :p
