i was told Bp Ultimate is the best high octane fuel, but I have heard that Vortex 98 is even better? anyone heard this or tried vortex 98?

My simple testing over the past few months (ie fill up with different brands and compare mileage from each) shows that Vortex is #1 with BP a smidge behind at #2.

Mobil (which I used to use religiously) is last by a mile (or should that be kilometre?)

The difference? Well consumption on Mobil has dropped to over 9 l/100 kms. BP I get around 8.5 l/100 kms and Caltex I get about 8.3 l/100 kms.

I used to get 8 l/100 kms from Mobil but i noticed it getting worse over time and so changed fuels to experiment.

I do around 115 km per weekday so I use about 1.5 tanks per week.

cheers

I've used BP Ultimate and Shell Optimax.. Ultimate is better for performance (in my car anyway) but it seems to make it run rougher.. Optimax.. yeah s'ok waiting to run the tank dry so i can try Vortex.

ive also found ultimate to be the best, however i have not tried vortex. might try it soon as my tenk is getting a bit low. however i like to throw in some nulon octane boast every now and then, it deffinately makes a difference...
