Question Which Premium Fuel in Oz

hey guys / girls ..or should it be the other way around....anyway...which Premium fuel do you use...

I recently discovered that all premiums are not the same, I'm now running 98 octane and around town get upto 50kms more per tank and the car performs better...regular premium ..usually in the discount stations [5 to 6 cents cheaper] can range from 91 to 95 octane depending on the 'brand'..

Hi.... green svx (like me

I use shell optimax which is also 98 octane and about half the time i add octane boost before filling up which makes a huge difference but also makes it a rather costly exercise. This was advise i obtained from Blake a few months ago, whose svx must be the finest out there. Octane boost makes svx puuuur as well as beat most cars from the lights.....

Interesting...

I was told by various people that Mobil Synergy 8000 is superior to Optimax!!

What do you think?
