Shell's fuel has the highest octaine rating of any fuels rated @ 98.8 or .4 but its the highest in the country.
Also PAnda these mechanics dont know shiet!
Have u heard of V8 Supercars at all?????
Check out what fuel they use!
I agree with others that say its the specific location of the petrol station, i live in QLD and the Shell that is just down the road from my house is CRAP. However, all other Shell stations that i go to arent like that, and for my old car (DC2 vti-r) Shell worked heaps better than Ultimate. Also for my new car (look at avatar) Optimax also works better than BP. But then again it jus might be the car, as for some of my friends BP works better for them.
i dun see the big deal... as ppl have said earlier.. i rekon its down to the individual servos... sum r good.. sum r crap... n i doubt .4 or .8 octain would make a hell of a lot of difference... if u want more octain just get octain boost.. makes ur 98 to 102 ron
sometimes its what your car prefers too
i have a peugeot 205 gti which loves optimax and hates ultimate and synergey
however the civic hates optimax and loves ultimate and synergy but there is the often good batch of shell fuel which i have got
the shorter shelf life is true as it only lasts a week so if its in the truck or in the cylindar on the ship longer than normal which could happen who knows it will feel like crap

highest octane doesnt mean highest quality, doesnt mean its good for you engine. the v8's would use RACE FUEL , i seriously doubt they would run cars worth that much on optimax. oh and WHY do they use it? SPONSORSHIP DOLLARS

They use Optimax. 98 ron. But I am sure they only get the best batches of the stuff!
tried the 4 variants of fuel for the past few weeks..
all full tanks.. i pour 2 tanks each fuel type.
Mobil Synergy = Moderate.. seems to burnmore quicker. 100km less than vortex+shell make car more agressive but smooth :P
Ultimate = Moderate. same as mobil, burns quick as well. but don;t notice much.
Shell = works great. burns slower. car feels more agressive. exhaust tone is more rumbly lolz.. but i guess.. when u fuel up.. try to fuel one station.. if u get alot of black crap on ur rear bar.. then don't fuel up there again, due to unclean tanks.
Vortex = Best fuel i like using.. burns slow. performance is good. also cost way cheaper than above^

Mobile Synergy 8000 all the way!
Nah thats bull!! Most octaine boosters do shit for your fuel. hardly any increase by a noticbalce difference at all I went to thise site once where they actually put to test some octaine bosters and like only 2 were good and the other one was like this special additive ( not octaine boost as per say)
this here is the list of products and their increase in octaine:
NF Octane Booster Racing Formula
250 ml treats 80 litres RRP: $29.95
Time for an Aussie-made product. From Perth, the NF Octane Booster Racing Formula was the smallest bottle in the field, but looking at the mixing ratio, also the strongest NF relies on an incredibly small dose – a mere 3 percent! Claiming to increase octane as much as 6.0 RON, NF took the gold medal in a surprising tie. If it were a split decision based on concentration though, it would be the clear winner.
OCTANE IMPROVEMENT: 99.6 (+2.8 RON)
Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster
500 ml treats 60 litres RRP: $20.95
Note: Also available in four-litre container for $110
The Australian-made Nulon Pro Strength Octane Booster is the top of the range Nulon fuel product, claiming to boost octane "up to seven number". The Pro Strength gained a test-winning, gold-medal-gaining and Nf-equalling 2.8RON increase. And at $21, it’s good value too!
OCTANE IMPROVEMENT: 99.6 (+2.8 RON)
Sorry this isnt the full test i only took down the good ones but the rest were all crap and only did like .2 or like .4 these were the best
the shorter shelf life is true as it only lasts a week so if its in the truck or in the cylindar on the ship longer than normal which could happen who knows it will feel like crap
A week? Yeah right, Optimax has a shelf life of 12 months. See here for details.
