Is Vortex 98 Same As Bp Ultimate 98?

[EXEMPT]

Ok so its a known fact from a past thread that....

BP 98 is the only 98 Octane fuel that is refined to 98 Octane and not refined to 92 or 95 and then boosted by additives.

Caltex Vortex, Shell Optimax and all that other shit is just normal fuel on steroids which in turn means the fuel is less dense and is less economical whilst giving similar performance.

Just buy BP 98 and you will be using the best.

I fang a bottle of pro strength booster into a 3/4 tank of 98 every now and then and I feel a decent increase again. You will notice a better improvement with an octane booster on BP 98 as well.

ive been comparing V power Shell vs Vortex Caltex. noticed better economy with v power. even with a week of spirited driving i returned 12.8km/100 vs ~13.5km/100 on Caltex

Been getting the same results . Vpower has done wonders. Better fuel economy, more responsive and less detonation

Bp is also the bees knees. No critisms of it either.

Edit: Actually, after reading the remaining post, i believe it Just depends on your tune. Mine was with Vpower so go figure I get the best result with shell.

I'm pretty anal about the fuel in my car, personally i always stick to vortex or BP can't go wrong and found no difference, running 2 different tanks back to back.

I'm more into vaginal than anal, but each to their own

Let the dead R.I.P.

Topgear did a test on fuel, and the shell v-power came out on top, not that that means anything.

If your tune is right on the edge of the fuel, that's a bit silly.

^^^ completely agree with this..........you get a bad batch or use some 95 [some servo's don't carry 98] then you will need some margin.

I use bp ultimate diesel, makes mad tyre smoke from the exhaust.

I only use Mobil 98RON (now 7 Eleven). I friend put 91RON 7 Eleven in her car and it choked and died (water in fuel). At least 7 Eleven reimbursed her repair bill.

Between dyno trials, drive feel and also inspections after running on an old carby powered engine in a separate vehicle ..

Found that for us, Mobil 98RON has always out performed the shell, bp and vortex.

Each to their own with your preferences of course..

But the Mobil fuel has been great. ( now 7 eleven)

For me, I Found less knock, slightly better whp output, and noticeable drivable feel.

And out of a old carburetor, running for 6 months, when was pulled off to upgrade,

It was shockingly immaculately clean.

Nothing to do with 98RON (off topic!), but back to back driving Sydney to Kiama and back in my R31 with Shell 91RON and Mobil 91RON, Mobil gave me extra 50km hahaha (45L).

I put 20L Caltex 91RON in it once (E10 unfortunately) and the R31 would stall/run rough in cold start. It didn't like BP 91 (E10, ran a bit rough) but liked Mobil E10 (no difference between Mobil 91 and E10, I still wouldn't put E10 in such an old car).

I've put only 98 Mobil in my cars ever since lol.
