I ran three full tanks of Mobil 8, and my fuel economy was much better on BP Ultimate. Same driving conditions etc, and on average I gained 40-50 km more from BP. Back to BP

Mobil 8000 and Caltex Ultimate 98 is the only fuels i use, and i love it and the car seems to love it too i get about 440km out of caltex and 460km out of mobil.
Hate Shell fuel it might be me but when i had my old car tuned xr6t only allowed to run 98oct one time i decided to put shell 98 in, it runs like sh!+ boosting all F----D up and Backfiring too so from then onwards NEVER AGAIN!!!!! will i go to a Shell Petrol station

Yesterday I filled up my new car for the first time since taking delivery. I filled it up with BP Ultimate.
The car feels like a totally different vehicle. So much smoother, lighter and responsive from the standing start. I couldn't believe that fuel could make such a difference.
I am not sure what my dealer filled up the tank with before I drove it away, but it must have been the cheapest crappiest fuel on the market, with about 1/3 water!

They probably used 95RON!

My preference is BP ultimate. Comparing BP ultimate, against mobil and shell equivalents, BP Ultimate feels better in my car.
But.... even within BP ultimate my experience shows that is that it is severely dependent on the petrol station you get your fuel from. E.g.
Over the last 3 years I usually get my BP ultimate from the BP on Bondi Road Bondi, and the car feels awesome, no hesitation, feels like it should.
Occasionally though I am forced to get it from the BP in Kingsford near the maccas as my GF lives around there. Every single time i get it from there, the car always feels a little bit more restricted and hesitatant. No idea why. (by the way I have filled up at the Kinsford BP about 20+ times)
Very weird.
Anybody else have this type of experience?

I used to be a die hard fan of Shell Optimax and later on when they changed to the name V-Power as there used to be a couple of servos in Sydney that sold V-Power racing which had an RON 100 (not sure if it is still sold?) the last Shell off the princess hwy just before Sutherland where the turn off to Wollongong . But ever since i got my VR6 i noticed it runs heaps better on Mobil 8000 or Caltex Vortex 98 ( not 2 be confused with Caltex Vortex which is just RON 95 ) to bad out where i live i have a BP down the road and a Shell on the opposite direction and the closet Mobil or Caltex is some time away .
