I use 98 because I have an SC Calais and I figure if 95 is required, then its highly likely that there are performance benefits to using 98.

i used pulp 95, i found it runs much smoother than ULP with slightly better economy and i figure unless the car is tuned for 98 its not worth me buying it

i used 2 use pulp (we only had a chioce of that or ulp back where i used 2 live) found that there was no pinging and stuff with it, ulp there was, fuel eceonomy was better with pulp, made it about match up pricewise so i thought i mightas well use pulp, since moving 2 adelaide ive found bp ultimate, i get better ecomony, better performance and a much smoother running engine...until now >>> http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/showthread.php?p=382874

im not sure if this was caused by using ultimate, never thought of that, it couldve blocked the fuel filter or something i dont know, but when she was running properly bp ultimate was the go

and about my last post, it was nothing 2 do with fuel, so im gonna continue 2 run ultimate or vortex in it
