    Vortex 98 for now. mainly cos its cheap atms... and the bp is over 1km away where-as the caltex is just around the corner.. havent noticed any real difference between Vortex and Ultimate though.. So i'd go for ultimate if it was closer
    Financial Crisis? What crisis? Fuels cheap and so are parts. I dont see no crisis.

    Talking about the 98 ron fuels, what about mobil 8000? I've heard bp ultimate and mobil 8000 are very much the same?

    neighbours mate is in racing and they are bitching about ultimate never being consistant and quite a few times the rom was lower than standard fuel. neighbour never uses premium he prefers avgas but that shit kills the mufflers

    BP, mainly because of location, it's on my way to work. Shell is out of the way and looks tacky as well.

    BP Seems to last longer for me.
    Both fuels are good but BP's just that bit better.

    gull don't like shell or bp go to caltex with the work van ( work pays ) and i always get more free stuff from them no one else gives me free coffee or car washes so go there as they like me return business. but then again i only use 91 octane in my car unless im going to go around the race track or down the drag strip

    8000 or Ultimate for mine, depends which way I come home really, much of a muchness imo. I've never bothered to attempt a scientific study.

    When I had v6's it was whatever from wherever and never the good stuff.
