Shell today claimed a world first when it launched its new flagship 100 octane fuel successfully formulated with 5% ethanol - Shell Optimax Extreme. This creates a new 'super premium' petrol category for the Australian marketplace.
Scientifically formulated in Australia, the breakthrough fuel formulation uses 5% ethanol as an octane-boosting, cleaner burning component and is designed specifically to deliver a higher level of engine responsiveness, sharper acceleration and enhanced power in many modern and high performance cars. Shell Optimax Extreme also has the same engine cleaning qualities as Shell Optimax.
Shell Optimax Extreme has been positively tested in Shell's global laboratory in the UK and in Australia by industry experts including MoTeC and Dick Johnson Racing. Major car manufacturers in Australia have also recently endorsed the use of up to 10% ethanol blended fuel in their new vehicles.
We are proud to be supporting Australian ethanol manufacturers and contributing to the Federal Governments biofuels targets. Through the formulation with ethanol, Shell Optimax Extreme has a substantially lower sulphur and benzene content than the maximum levels set under the Federal Government's fuel quality standards. Ethanol is also a cleaner burning, renewable fuel component, which can help to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions.
The revolutionary 100 octane fuel will be manufactured at our Geelong refinery and is the first significant advancement in unleaded fuel technology since the introduction of Shell Optimax in 1999.
Shell Optimax Extreme will be available exclusively through selected Coles Express service stations in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
