we don't get the 98RON fuels here in tassie.
but i was just reading an article on the different fuels (was in this weekends carsguide because of the release of vortex98), and it says most places premuim unleaded is 95RON, but Shell's premium unleaded is actually 96RON - wonder why shell go one more?

they don't call the 96RON stuff optimax though (or at elast not here in tassie), they call it premium unleaded, then the 98Ron is optimax, and 91 is unleaded. at shell that is.
but my point is that premium unleaded (not optimax, synergy, or what ever) at the other joints is 95RON, while shell is 96, queer.

Well after trialling the Vortex 98 I think I'll be switching back to Optimax. The car seem to run better on the Optimax and also better fuel economy, go figure.. I tried BP Ultimate once and wasn't real happy with the results either.
:D :D :D

Hmms alll i know is that any premium fuel u get more kms out of. I use vortex most of the time & i can see the diff, not 2 mention aswel as optimax n the others. Where i used to struggle to get 500kms outta a tank, now get 550 in all sorts of driving conditions most of the time
