I think I'll be sticking with BP Ultimate for now.

It's probably just in my head, but the car seems to run better on it than it does on Optimax.

yer, same here

i'll run it

sif drive to Albany Creek or Virginia just for hi-ocu

Shell dont even do decent sausage rolls

ill run it

but i found that bp are fuckheads and i swear that some servos are padding it... my cars and my gf's cars have always run worse on ultimate than on optimax :/

its hard trying to be objective, but over time ive basically made it fall into the order optimax > ultimate > vortex

oh i hear on the grapevine, that mobil are bringing out a 100+ octane fuel, somewhere around the 104/105 mark.

i say 90% of "my car runs better on " is in the head of the driver

pfft, you wish.








I say it's more like 99%.

since when is vortex 98 in queensland?

sorry i haven't been to a caltex station in ages

thats cause its EXTREME

dont do it, its a trap

oh, and bp and shell have intermediate premiums at 95, and standard at 91.

the catchphrase when they came out was optimax had the highest octane of any australian fuel, with 98.9.

it isnt the synergy one, its a development fuel, albeit this information was about a year old when i was talking to a guy that worked in mobil marketing at a party, he said that there was an increased demand to bring in a 100+ octane, and it would happen in the next couple of years. i wonder if that has been changed to synergy now :/

Okay, looking at the shell website, it no longer says 98.9 :/ i swear i remembered there being a diff between the two, shell billing themselves as the highest octane petrol avaialble with 98.high numbers. checking bp site, says 98 too... blargh.

guess i was wrong, or that was a marketing ploy and had to wind it back :/

hence why they say ultimate gets you more km's i guess monkey. thats an interesting statement, i want to know the stuff behind it, any linkies?

I use Vortex thanks to the woolies servo down the road and have also used a few tanks in succession of bp ultimate. Can't say I notice the difference.

ALso, if any of you guys do use vortex they are running a comp for free fuel on the caltex site so keep your receipt and enter! :)

with the fuel or the car?

Fucken, I'll use it.

What fuel rating are jap vehicles tuned to anyway? :)

I think it's 101 ron if my initial D fanboyism is corrrect.

99% sure its 100RON

also tung i've never heard of 140RON fuel, and its certainly not available on any pumps anywhere in the world

lol
Maybe he meant 104 :)

LOLLLLLLLLLLL@#L@#@@222
Fuggen

/me squezes eyes shut

OMIGOD WHY WOULD I DO A STUPID THING LIKE THAT!!!!!

Neg.

Neg.

Theres a woolies servo just down the road (*shudder*... i know)

You're a fucking dickhead burt and prove you know fuck all about anything, go to a mechanic and pay to get your work done you unknowledgable woman.

It's been proven that supermarket servo's use the same quality fucking fuel as everywhere else, fuel regulations are strict in Australia.

Is it true that independents and supermarkets often have "dodgy" fuel?

Many people are under the incorrect impression that some fuel retailers sell fuel that is of sub-standard quality.

All fuel in Western Australia has to comply with very stringent fuel quality standards.

In fact the WA standards are the most stringent in Australia and within our region.

Those standards are administered by the Department of Environment Protection. For more information about the standards contact this Department.

There are also Commonwealth standards in place (administered by Environment Australia) that are very similar to the WA standards.

All fuel sold in WA is required by law to comply with the State and Commonwealth standards. Where those standards conflict the requirement is to comply with the more stringent of the two standards.

As well as this, WA has quite unique supply arrangements for petrol. BP operates the only refinery in the State at Kwinana and a very high proportion of the petrol sold in WA (90%+) is produced at that facility.

There are a small number of petrol imports that occur from time to time, however these are generally from either eastern states or Singapore refineries. The same requirement to comply with State and Commonwealth fuel quality standards applies to those imported products.

Of course it is possible that adulteration of the fuel can occur as it moves along the supply chain between the refinery and the consumer. If you have concerns about the quality of fuel at a particular site it may be a good idea to raise your concerns with the site manager in the first instance.

That said, I still don't go to them either, but I wouldn't pretend like they have bad fuel that's going to OH NOES BLOW UP MY FULSIK RAD SKYLINE.
P.s. WA is the same as QLD
