I was told about this about a year ago... and I can't reveal it because I don't 1) wanna get sued, 2) flamed, 3) create controvery..

Lets just say I don't use that brand :P

.....hmmmm is that all fuel is. A collection of chemicals??

In WA we only have BP ulitmate as a +95oct fuel, so that is what my accord always runs on. Paid $1.16/L for it yesterday.

Pretty well all fuel on the WA market comes from the one refinery, and thats a BP one. Hence no one else sells 98ron, BP monopoly.

go shell go well ;)

I've always been a fan of Optimax, i've tried the Mobile once, in my old car and the old car spat it right back out, but with Optimax it's always pretty good. Caltex and BP don't seem too bad either, but Optimax all the way!

Optimax all the way along with octane boost....costs so damn much for me to fill up though...but it's worth it for a good drive. ^.^

I heard that octane boost is actually bad for your engine. But don't quote me on it, as I haven't had any experience with octane boost.

I Use Unleaded

the chemicals you talk about is the stuff that cleans out your engine and injectors...

while optimax is a great fuel, your only supposd to fill it up every few weeks... i suggest bp ultimate (my choice) or mobile synergy more regularly...

Isn't the BP Ultimate only has 97 Octane rating?
a bit lower than Optimax right?

close 98 rating.

tried BP Ultimate, and I think I feel a slight increase in engine response. Not sure though. Will try to switch back to Optimax and see if that response will be gone or not.

you said it man, but only $1.16/L? lucky you! try $1.27/L! I love the Pilbara! (thank god for leaseplan)

we have BP, Shell, and Caltex up here in Hedland. ALL are crapity crap crap. I use Caltex up here but as PERTH_EURO says, it is all BP fuel. It just depends on the dodgy servo's that determine quality.

My car doesn't run as well as when it was first delivered from Perth. Did I mention the fuel up here is crap? I might have to buy a 44 of elf and mix.
