maybe some of the more tech people may be able to answer
but is it true caltex premium here in perth would be better than bp 98

for the fact the mon and ron are closer together apparently the fuel burns cleaner and is acutally the same ron as bp98 most the time

due to bp not always make good batchs and having to add addatives to make it reach the 98 ron ?

hope that made sense

love to know your source

[QUOTE=Adam_87]hey i recently read in hot fours that shell is bringing out the 100 octane called shell optimax[/QUOTE]

Yes they have had 100 octane optimax for a while. Problem is the eastern staters call it optiping because every batch fluctuates so bad.

[QUOTE=sparty]I have been reliably informed that Peak 98 is Mobil Synergy 8000 out of Mobil's Singapore refinery.

Mobil Synergy 8000 is a high octane, high performance unleaded petrol for all cars and car lovers*. A fuel ahead of its time, designed for all drivers, it reassures you as only the very best can, because a quality fuel such as this maximises the efficient operation of all motor vehicles. It keeps engines running cleaner and smoother thereby maximising power and efficiency - while also being kinder to the environment. And the feeling you get from that is something you just can't measure. Mobil Synergy 8000 has the added advantage of a fully synthetic additive package that provides detergency, lubricity and corrosion protection.

These detergents also effectively clean fuel injection systems / carburettors and intake valves and provide excellent corrosion protection. This efficient deposit control technology maximises the performance of engine control systems and helps minimise exhaust emissions. It all adds up to lower emissions, more power and smoother drivability. The special lubricating qualities of this superior fuel protect moving parts, which reduces wear and extends the life of your fuel delivery system. Mobil Synergy 8000 is especially beneficial when it comes to turbocharged and high performance vehicles, allowing these cars to reach full performance potential.[/QUOTE]

Thought id necro this thread as I was with my mate the other day and he took the plunge and put peak 98 in his car. I had a looksy at the fuel and it doesnt have the same tinge to the colour that U98 has. Im still not putting peak in my car yet as peak doesnt have as nice a logo as BP :P
