Default 98 Octane Options

Well we have had other options than BP for a while now. Curious to know if anyone is noticing any difference or more importantly has tuned for any of the new fuels and got a gain out of it.

I have done a couple of tanks of Vortex 98 but not available at the closest one to me yet so can't really say either way.

Help me make up my mind what to have in the tank for the tune with the new turbo!!!

I've used the Caltex stuff a couple of times, seems at least as good as the BP. One of the evo guys reckons he gets better fuel economy from the Caltex fuel too?

I have put in the Vortex 98 twice now and have had no issues. I think they are same same. All petrol comes from BP anyhow seeing as they are the only ones with a refinery here! BP/Caltex then just put in the additives themselves, which I can't imagine would be too different...
