Does anyone here know if any brand of the 98 fuels available is better than the others?EG.I've heard that optimax is 95 with octane booster!!!I've also been told always buy petrol from high volume service stations on main roads.Would apreciate any input on this.
Last tank on Shell Optimax 698km's x 51 litres = 7.30 litres per 100km's
MY04 auto luxury no mods other than Mobil 1 10w - 30 fully synthetic oil:thumbsup:
Mostly highway driving tony?
Yes it was mostly Highway, trip to the Gold Coast & the Sunshine Coast from the same tank.Quote:

That's the next fuel to try on my list. Not many Caltex have it here though (we don't have that many Caltex anyway on the Goldy).
That's my fuel of choice(vortex).Mobil 8000 and ultimate seem to also be good.Quote:

I have used all fuels now, except Caltex Vortex 98 (non in Vic?) and some E10 blends suggested here.
I use Mobile Synergy 8000 without fail these days. More power, and economy is the same.
Honestly I NEVER noticed any fuel economy difference between any of the 98 fuels. Even using 95-96 fuels (Vortex 96, Shell 96, Mobile Synergy 6000 96) I didn't seem to get less economy.!!
The only fuel I used which saw a drop in economy was Optimax Extreme 100 and even then its only around 20kms which could have been normal variation.
It is not good to try only one tank of any fuel and make a conclusion as well, it does change a lot by the 2nd tank. So for everytime I experiment with fuel I actually at least use that fuel for 3-4 tanks ;-)
Mobile Synergy 8000 for me :) I can't pick between BP Ultimate and Shell Optimax though, although BP Ultimate smells better kind of like Perigord Truffle Oil!
Mobil Synergy 8000 or BP Ultimate for me...
