you don't have to go that far to find one.. just go down Joondalup Dr towards Ocean Reef Road, there's one there near Bunnings. Could do it on your way to work

I've been using Caltex Vortex 98 since i got the car....tried BP a couple of times..noticed f- all difference....

Guys that are getting 30km extra to a tank....you for real son? Cos that will entice me to try other fuels..

Caltex fuel card through work = no brainer... Ran the Lib on BP98 though as it was tuned on that fuel... Evo has been fed Caltex 98 and loves it...

I personally think that there is too many variations to be able to say how many extra kms you get on different fuels, unless the difference was something like 100km extra.
All of the fuels (BP, Caltex and Shell) 98RON fuels were tested for their actual RON rating, and they were all 98 (well, Caltex was 98.1). This was some years ago.
I use BP purely because I've got one on the way everywhere I go. Shell and Caltex never on the way.
For a standard car, run whichever you want. If your car was tuned on one particular fuel, it might be good to stick to it as they do have varying compositions.

Maybe he likes Cheese, I love a bit of toasted coon, does yours mean you are into young goats?

I found Liberty/United gave much better economy, I was told it was made in Singapore.
