SHELL optimax VS BP ultimate FUEL ! For DOHC VTEC

[EL_DC5]

I Am loyal to BP Ultimate, I cant get a consistent feel for Mobil 8000 fuel, Vortex feels sluggish like Vpower but w/o the extra Ks

[tangyoonee]

My car likes caltex vertex 95 don't no why.
it pulls, feels and sounds better and better Ks. d series like caltex vertex I believe.

Where did Caltex Vortex 98 come in that ranking?

Somewhere in the higher middle range, i think not too far below mobile and bp ultimate

Just an article related to inconsistencies with BP ultimate fuel

Does anyone have the Name or location of those Eleven BP petrol stations in northern NSW? So People can avoid to refuel at those stations. We don't known what the owner mix in the other type of fuels to profiteering.

Would you reccomend the higher priced fuel for all Hondas or just the VTEC models and such.

Just to throw something out there for you guys. I run vortex 98 i get bout 350 out of the dc2r modified. I run Ultimate i get 400 420 depending on how heavy i am on the accelerator.

Heres something for you to think bout. Running caltex my knock reading will fly around 40 50 and on bad day 60. When im running bp knock stays on 15 sometimes 20 on vtec 30......

I was using Caltex Vortex98 and I decided to change to Shell V-Power. I noticed a significant increase in km's, although I have a heavy foot and in my dc2 am only getting a maximum of 400kms a tank...I think that's bad.

I've tried to read through all the pages but can't really find what I'm after...

what's the best petrol for km's and performance? between BP Ultimate, Shell V-Power and Mobil Synergy?

Thanks.

I tried broth Caltex Vortex98 and Shell V-Power. From what i have experience i get more km's on V-power than Vortex98.

I also get about 400kms a tank for my dc2r

Do you guys reset your ECU every time you change brand of fuels?

[EL_DC5]

Do you guys reset your ECU every time you change brand of fuels?

No, at least i dont

I only reset when i mod something.

BTW i get more performance from Ultimate but alittle more Ks from V-power

[m0nk3y]

dont forget the car needs to be tuned for 98octane, theres no real point in running 98 if the car is only tuned for 91 or 95.

although 98 will help clean out your engine a bit.

Personally, i dont need to use PULP 98, Shell ULP is fine for my teg lux.

hey i had a d series engine before. for the best power and km's on the d series is the mobile premium unleaded. i use to get 500kms out of each tank with thrashing it. It runs alot smoother.
