With our combustion engines, no fuel is clean burning. I use Caltex Vortex98 and I still get deposits in the exhaust tail pipe.
What i meant to say is that Shell is not as clean burning as Mobil 8000 and BP Ultimate(so i was told!!) and therefore prone to more deposits than the other fuels mentioned.

Back during the days where I washed the car every 2 weeks, I couldn't really tell a difference (I alternated between Caltex, Shell and Mobil). I think it depends more on how much throttle you use. The heavier the throttle, the richer the A/F mixture will be which will result in excess carbon coming out the back.
BTW, just remembered that I missed your phonecall the other day. Been so busy with work and moving house when not at work. haha. How's things been?
i always use 98 and get about 420km average out of my tank i decided on my last tank to use E10 and try it out i felt no realy differance and still got about 420kms a tank so it tripped me out a little, but that was just an experiment ill stick to the 98 octain
Just in case it's not clear as mud yet: Shell's premium fuel is called V-Power, Vortex is Caltex's premium fuel brand... but of course the poster shortened the reply and just said "shell vortex" right?
They have plenty of vpower here, sometime last year, when they were short on vpower, I went back to vortex. I use vortex when I first got the car, then switch to vpower.
So its either vpower or vortex for me.... but I go for vpower because of coles 4 cents discount and flybuys points.
