I don't use Plain old unleaded. Premim and above..
BP or Shell Only. My old Dunnydore used to love Caltex, but the falc only likes BP or Shell. If I could afford it BP Ultimate all the way!!

Vortex98 ONLY.
The GT-P is tuned for it, anything else runs like a**.

Yep, I use 98 octane in my stock engine/*untuned car and noticed an extra 400km per tank

Vortex 98 or BP Ultimate. I get a little less km with the Vortex but the car seems to run a little smoother at times when it wouldnt on Ultimate. Vortex also feels like it gives slightly more power but who knows for sure.

Anyone know anything about United Fuel?
Recently went on a trip to Forster in NSW and filled up at one for fair cheap but then when we actually got to Forster went in to find another United station offering unleaded (not E10) for 107.5 the whole week (ie no cheap tuesday) when everyone else in town was 119.9 etc However the United only 1 or 2 cars in it every time I saw it...made me wonder if there was a reason it was so cheap..?

Quote: BEST POWER
It can be concluded clearly by the data that if your budget was unlimited then ELF Turbomax would be your choice. Economically for power, the ethanol blend must be considered. If you wish not to use Ethanol blends then Caltex Vortex 98 is the best solution of the 98 ron fuels. WHY Clearly the best performers in their class all had high content of oxygenates, refer to discussion. ECONOMICAL ASSUMPTION If your car was a daily driver then Caltex Vortex 98 would be a wise choice as it is yet to be proven if the (Park Petroleum) ethanol blend is economically fuel efficient. It is worth noting though that on a budget the ethanol blend fuel is clearly well worth it. (For power) CONSTANT PERFORMANCE Another point worth noting what is not evident in the test is the way the fuel reacts to tuning. For example ELF Turbomax and LMS certainly sustained more power after successive power runs, (when engine heat build up occurs). No other fuel was as consistent. Sunoco would be a close second in this category. Martini and other fuels were not tested, nor have been used as much by MRT to confidently give a opinion.

No, wasn't aimed at you....hahahaha, i just realised in my tired state i wrote tuned instead of untuned  (was aimed any who have or are going to try and justify the extra cost of using 98 octane in a stocko i6's not tuned for it against the km's gained).On a side note in reference to your article, ethanol fuels can be great for performance, but if using them you really want to take advantage of compression/tuning as ethanol has lower volumetric energy density than regular petrol.
