Anyone tried Vortex 98 fuel?

[STOCK]

If you can feel a acceleration difference and better fuel economy through the "butt" dyno, not to mention the corolla csi engine management optimising itself to suit 98ron that goes for the lawnmower as well, then 98octane might be just what you need

I can see 98octane helping on the hondas that require premium as standard like the VTiR civic/integra and the type Rs as such... but on a car thats factory tuned for regular unleaded? Unless youve got serious mods your just wasting your money IMO.

Sorry if ive upset some of you guys esp the ones that have had more posts but i was just trying to help Limbo's girl who was filling up 98 ron vortex in a car im sure does not need to run efficiently.

Anyone know if vortex 98 is already available in Melb?

my new upcoming JDM H22a would definately like the 98 goodness...currently use 96 Vortex and is better than 98 Shell

i've tried all the major 98 ron fuels..
my opinion:
vortex 98: used quite often good clean fuel.. but doesnt have as much grunt as bp ultimate
synergy 8000: used it once i liked it.. but havent used it on a daily basis to notice it's main effects
bp ultimate:all round good fuel... the main fuel i use daily..
optimax: used to use it a lot.. gives lots good response.. but makes engine feel "raspy" ..not as smooth and it is a bit like what everyone says about it being on steroids..

my 2c worth
..

P.S. one of my mates that works with me @ our garage says he's seen a petrol station in lakemba which has 102 RON fuel.. it's legitimacy is yet to be confirmed..
lol

Just thought I let you guys and girls know, I recently went to fill up my car at the local Caltex servo down at Bonnyrigg near the basketball courts and found out that they had installed Vortex 98 pumps. In addition these pumps like many other 98 pumps around are out of stock. cheers.

to some people the feeling of 'cleaner fuel' and 'longer engine life' makes them feel good, so to them its not a waste of money. I've always used the premium fuels, and have noticed an increase in distance per tank. I agree some cars require it, but running it on all cars helps that car in some way. just my 2c

why is that ? what fuel do you prefer to run ?

[[[d a n n y]]]

ok this is my 2C

i've had VORTEX ,ULMIATE, OPTIMAX , Synergy 8000
out of the 4 i'll rate
for the BP ultimate fuel
gave me shitall performance laggy rough engine, and the bov's sounded very blocked up.
Synergy is probly the best for performance wise for my car
very smooth combustion as for the Fuel consumptoin....
wasnt too bad.
but i'd say Shell Optimax is the best all rounder and closely followed by the Vortex
i had big diff in the KM/s per tank using shell
engine was smooth (not as smooth as Mobile 1)
Vortex 98 great fuel.i dunno sum times i get mixed readings from it
so i guess i still need to try it out more

Usually use Ultimate or Optimax - both are consistantly good in the Prelude

Vortex 98 - felt like Vortex 96.... Unimpressive



And Danny - just goes to show, every car gets a different result...

Same as before. Use it, prefer it over Shell Vpower, but I would still use Vpower if there was no Vortex98 around.
