Which Fuel is better?

[slow13dude]

I'll tentatively agree with the regional argument.

There's no meeting of points in the following argument:

(QLD guy) "Optimax is more responsive and has better fuel economy here"

(Vic guy) "No, BP Ultimate is more responsive and has better fuel economy"

Power FC Knocks at about 35 on shell optermax BP Knocks at 25 Max

any thing other 40+ ;(

I know this question can open a can of worms. But i have heard from a few  

guys that optimax is bad then bp is another and also vortex is pretty good. Just wanna hear your view.

BTW also any other fuels that u have noticed.

i find BP ultimate is great but so is VORTEX, plus its closer and cheaper for me

[popeye132]

yes i have a twin turbo 300zx and i got over 40km more on shell from a full tank

i have not used Shell Obtimax yet but i did my own lil test and found out that i get more Mileage from BP premium rather then BP ultimate

i have no idea why.

Sorry to bring this up again

but did any of you watch Current Affair this week where they did the petrol test

they tested the different petrol’s and found the same with my above quote!

[**JaR**]

ive only ever put bp ulitmate in my car, i reckon it runs good on it... although i havnt tested every fuel available so i couldnt really say, tryed vortex once coz i couldnt find a bp, didnt seem to be much difference in response at all.

sydneykid: how do you know which state has what refineries and how many there are? do you work for a fuel company or something? not having a go, just curious to know.

Thats probably there in NSW...

Here in VIC, my PowerFC knock only shows 10 on Shell Optimax.

Haven't tried BP yet.

only ever use bp ultimate

[Babylon]

only ever use bp ultimate

give bp premium a go you will be surprised

[superspit]

give bp premium a go you will be surprised

Give Expensomax a go, you'll 'also' be surprised!!

Just ran another tank of Ultishit through the line after 6 weeks (thought I'd be surprised), well, nup!! Low economy and less pull in second and 3rd. Back to expensomax, after 2 fills, all is good again. (not surprised at this either).

How could the graph be soooooo one sided, ...I mean this forum contains mostly keen and smart drivers, so I guess the general populus must know what they're on about!! Would've thought maybe a 60-40 for Ultra crap, not the current trend though!! Emeeeysink!! :confused:

Expensomax? Don't you use the dockets? You might wanna start calling it Fourcentoffmax... or Cheapomax (not that they're so cheap)

I think it all depends which servo you're filling in. Based on what effect I felt

on car performance after I refill:

BP on Heidelberg Rd has better fuel than the nearby Shell on the same road,

Shell on Bell St Preston has better fuel than this Heidelberg Shell,

Mobil in Racecourse Rd feels better than the Mobil in Coburg's Bell St, and

and the BP & Shell in Sunbury feels both has equal quality.

Yo not to take a stab at u,but you say that you are to cool for a docket,so you would rather rip yourself off then save $2.

What happens when you are on your 25th tank im sure it would save you a few tanks worth in a line per yr.Especially if your foot had lead in it.

Obviously you dont do the shopping. :confused:

[Marsss]

good thing you're not taking a stab....

So premium is 'better' hey?....hmmmmmm....

[Trust33]

Cant see why i would want take 1.why are u offering to do it for me.

If premium were better to use we would all be using it.But we dont.I think it's just a price thing.Bang 4 buck thing.Somthing 1 would get their car tuned on if they were peterol price concious.:pimp:

yo, who's the 'cool' one bro's!!??

I don't do my shopping at the relevant brand shops to get the dockets to get the $2.00(????) off the expensomax!! Did u consider that, yo?

I'm no lead foot, I get more value that way than the crappy few cents redeemed on a docket!! (but hey, each to their own way of doing their financials!!)

Obviously also not considered?

Also, where did I state that I "was too cool"?

NB. notice the 'too' is correctly used in this sentence?

And, what does happen on my '25th tank', yo?

Not taking a stab bro's, but feck dat!! and have a great day!
