What brand fuel do you use in your Euro?

**Thorn2004** · 24-08-2004 01:50 PM

I know there is a limited range of petrol suppliers who hold premium but I was wondering what do you guys use in your Euro's? The reason why I am asking is I changed from Mobil Premium to Shell Optimax last weekend. The car is running MUCH smoother on Shell Optimax than it ever did on the Mobil Premium, I have no idea why but I am serious, the Euro's motor is much quieter and there is more power than before I filled her up with Shell! Any ideas why? I mean they are the same Octane rating right?

Anyway I am not complaining too much, but I know what I will be using from now on

i tend to think shell aint that good of a petrol
i tend to use Mobil synergy more..
It runs better.. better millliege and also satisfy's my engine more (Not euro Accord)

Well this is where the different point of views comes into it, I mean everyone doesn't have the exact same car do they? For me Shell Optimax actually peforms better than Mobil Synergy, I have no idea why but for me it is true

I haven't tried any other brands yet but I have been warned off some because their octane rating isn't as high!

My Euro runs better with Mobil Synergy 8000 than Optimax. However, I'm running Optimax now cos of that 4c off thing.

I heard that BP Ultimate is good too....might give it a try soon.

Shell Optimax? Pfft... It's way too overated. Do a search and you will find a huge thread discussing all the fuels from ages ago. Like last year i think.

I'm using OPTIMAX, I reckon I got more mileage

**Calvo** · 24-08-2004 07:09 PM

it also depends where u fill up...

like not all fuel is the same in different areas...

so ive been told...

I've tried Mobil Synergy 8000 and Shell Optimax, didn't notice a difference in performance and milage, so I went back to Optimax because of 4c and Fly Buys

optimax seems to be (might not be true, don't quote me) but 95/96 RON + additives, tolone?... which makes it close to 98, apparently there are only two companies which have pure 98 RON fuel and thats mobil and BP.... caltex vortex is 95, but should be 98 by early 2005

**EuroAccord13** · 24-08-2004 10:31 PM

I know of a certain "someone" who test fuels in Australia and he told me that the 98RON aren't actually 98... Shhhhh.. you didn't hear it from me :P

i try to use bp ultima, very good i think, optimax as someone said is overrated, i heard they use heaps of chemicals so i dont use it, otherwise i think synergy 8000 gives me the most milage.
ps i dont drive a accord but hey i assume its all good
