Would prefer to use Ultimate because it's cleaner but at this time.. Optimax is the go for me.... Sadly....

I made the switch from BP Ultimate to Shell Optimax for the same reason too. Heaps of dockets (some 8c instead of 4c) and the rising prices.

However, since making the switch, I actually think the car runs a little smoother on Optimax than it does on Ultimate. It just seems really smooth.

Vortex is only 95 oct. I like Vortex98. Feels like Synergy 8000 but with a 4 cent off voucher from Woolies. Think of it as 1 cent more than Optimax and 3 cents cheaper than Synergy8000. I found better consumption with Vortex98 over Optimax. I have been using it over a 5 month period.

I said yeah it is this years luxury model with the bigger rims etc then he said "What would you give her out of 10, I reckon it deserves a 10, I love Euro's and yours looks damn nice in red"!

Ok so now that he inflated my ego I am going to this particular Shell every time :D Anyone else have this sorta thing happen? (The Milano Red Euro looks damn nice clean and under those Servo lights btw, gotta take some happy snaps!) :)

That happened at the Caltex that I used! I told him, "pump no. 5 please". And he said "Have you given a thought about lowering it? The Euro looks so nice when it is lowered with slightly larger rims. Do you have any plans for performance mods too?" :D

Don't ya love the attention? :D I have even had a guy come up to me when filling up at a different Shell wanting to take a look at the car lol! I am serious, he was filling up infront of me and out of the blue just said "nice car, is that a Euro?". Next thing I know he is walkin over and asked if he could take a look coz he was thinking about buying one himself! I think I sold him with my tour! Another time 2 dudes were walking past my Euro in the driveway and stopped to take a look!

Gotta love Euro's :)

Once when I stopped by at Harry's for a hot dog, I had just locked my car when this middle-aged guy came over and asked me how's the car. He said he had just bought the Accord VTi from Queensland and was going to drive it down!

Isn't BP linked with IGA or something? I don't like IGA... Overpriced.....:wave:

I only see the word Vortex, or premium unleaded at the caltex, at least the Caltex I go to. Can any confirm if there are Vortex98 in Melbourne?

Vortex is only 95 octane. Maybe it hasn't started selling in Melbourne. In Sydney, the Vortex logo has a green background while the Vortex98 has a gray background.

Yeah, it is the Green Vortex Logo. I have to look around for the Vortex98 now.

we don't get Vortex here. But We do have caltex, and I always see a BP Tanker pull up to fill the Caltex station. So Caltex here is actually BP is it the same down south ?

My hypothesis (guess) is that for 91 octane, most of the stations of different brands get their petrol from the same source. So they are all the same. Only at 98 and maybe even 95 octane, the refinery makes it to the specification that the company wants.
