Thats what I thought. But apparently ~4 months ago they began replacing the 95ron vortex with 98ron at selected servos.

I can't be sure tho, becuase I never buy fuel from caltex .

Vortex is the premium unleaded. The 98 octane Vortex is Vortex98 (V98).

Ultimate 98 is definitely the only 98 RON fuel available in WA.
Vortex is 95-96. No Vortex 98 in WA.

I manage to get at least 20-30 kms extra out of Vortex than Ultimate for some reason. Very strange.... especially seeing as Vortex 99% of the time is cheaper than Ultimate around the Balcatta area. Haven't had a bad batch of it in the past three weeks of filling up on it.
