    Mobil Fuel:
    Quite frankly have tried BP, Caltex and Shell as well and cannot detect any difference.
    If it seems easy, you are probably doing it wrong

    I use BP Ultimate, however with the new shop-a-docket thingy i am using Shell Optimax quite a bit...

    To be honest I can't tell the difference between the two...

    My car runs like crap on Optimax - idles roughly, pings, poor throttle response.

    When it runs on Synergy, Ultimate or Vortex, it runs like a dream. Most often use Synergy as there is a Mobil closest to my house.

    i'm the same too but i prefer Ultimate better. i think it runs better & better economy. but the rebate is very tempting...

    but before I had the fuel card,
    I too couldn't tell the difference between Utimate & Optimax,
    I just bought which ever was cheaper Click here to enlarge

    I generally use BP Ultimate or Caltex Vortex (out of convenience), but i have used the other fuels (Premium) as well. I don't really think there's much of a difference to be honest...

    I've used Optimax for a while, but recently switched to Ultimate.
    Cant really tell a difference, but seem to get just that little more on Ultimate.
