I think vortex98 sucks because its 20 cents higher per litre than normal ulp caltex.
Ultimate, V-power and synnergy 8000 are cheaper than that.
(based on last time i checked)

1) caltex
2) mobil

4) BP
is what i found.
well different car, different fuel to suit
mine was a cg accord and I use bp.. run very smooth and get the best mileage..
now change to a 5th gen vti-r lude and still use bp.. but dont get the best mileage so i replace it with vortex 98.. so far it's the best for my car in terms of power and mileage :)
Honestly i never tried the v-power racing.. will be too fast and furious for me I think :p
I'll try Vortex 98 next time me thinks.
Well i have my results back, after running petrol through the motor ( i do quite a bit of driving atm) my latest results show that I get approximately...
FULL TANK RESULTS:
BP Ultimate: ~527km (Tested This Week)
Shell V-Power: ~540km (Tested Last Week)
When driving normal and during "Spirited Drives" i still find that Shell's V-Power fuels have a low/mid end torque gain compared to BP/Vortex. I can usually tell the differance between ~2500rpm-5500rpm. Although the differance isnt something thats going to warrant travelling that much further or spending much more to get it.
Don't forget these are approximate figures.
XD Have a good day GUYZ && GIRLZ!
At the moment dispite what i have previously posted. i am gettin similar results. I recently went from 1 full tank of v-power to a full tank of BP Ultimate. I feel the car is a bit sluggish under 3k rpm and that the torque and power in general is lacking.. I have not experienced this before with ultimate, might be a bad batch of fuel... not sure but yeah...Quote:

ive got a integra vtir 95' and filled with shell v power and my fuel level is very low atm and its got 430k's on the clock without the light on. it will probably last another 10 more k's or so i think
I was wondering, does fuel injection cleaner fluid give my car more K's?
I haven't got 450k's from a full tank before, usually low 400's on my dc2.
I've never used fuel injection fluid either before filling up the car.
Hmmm. So confusing. So should I try SHell VPower or Caltex Vortex98 next?
V Power and all other 98 octane fuels have additives which clean ur injectors and engine internals.Quote:
