Mobil 6000 is 95 octane and will be ok for your Euro. If you don't feel good, go ahead and top up with a 98 octane (Mobil 8000). No point putting in Extreme if you don't have a reason to put 100 octane in.

it's quite interesting, that this time when i filled up the tank, the trip meter only says 607km, usually when i top up it says 742km on optimax. Dat's what triggered myself to look at the fuel that i just put in at the station and realised there was mobil8000. Does the ECU have any detecting device?
Any difference between Mobil6000 and 8000?
Mobil 8000 is 98 octane like optimax but i think its cleaner and less addictives than optimax. Mobil 6000 is 95 octane.
i prefer Ultimate > 8000 > optimax
Mobil Synergy 6000 is infact 96RON in Melbourne. Not sure in other states? Would imagine the same.
In NZ they dropped the 96RON and thus changed the name to Synergy 5000 instead :S
I just read some issue of MOTOR today and BP Ultimate had this big page advertisement saying it is like a change from a 2.6L to a 3.0L car (I think.) just changing to BP Ultimate fuel, also quicker acceleration and more mileage. I think we could sue BP Ultimate for misleading the customer considering the RACV's Ford Festiva and Falcon test done by RACV and using BP fuels, showed otherwise...
As for Ultimate 98, Synergy 98 and Optimax 98 - in the Euro Accord I can't feel much difference. Syn 8000 seat of the pants to me, but I think I might be dreaming.. :(
I know it's probably been discussed to death but I can't find it.
Any Euro, Optimax vs Ultimate vs Syn8000 vs Vortex comments?
I know a lot of people reckon Ultimate is better than Optimax, why?
Uhh.. why can't you find it!?!?! I bet you didn't search. I'll let you off this time :p Read this from start to end: http://ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26880 Please read the posts. And please use the search functionQuote:

Funny how with the fuel price so high, I gained an extra 55km fuel economy.
Using the same fuel as always - Synergy 8000.
In fact, assuming I top up my fuel tank to same level everytime, doing my calculations of how many litres I put in, my normal consumption is nearly always the same, +/- 15-20 Kms.
Until the fuel price went up, that is :S
I found that using 98RON (Mobil) decreases fuel consuption by almost 1L/km compared to 95RON BP fuel.
On 95RON I was trying hard to get good consumption, but it sat at an average 11.2 where as 98RON averaged at 10.3 without even trying (actually Ive been revving higher than usual).
