Lightbulb Optimax Extreme Fuel??

Just reading the latest street machine mag and saw an ad about Shell Optimax Extreme saying it is a new fuel with an octane reading of 100, which includes 5% ethanol.

Just wondering if this will be better for the subies or harmful??

If you go to the Vic WRX Website. There is a HUGGGGEEEEE thread on optaping.

Supposedly we will not be getting it for a long time to come as Geelong only makes the stuff and they can barely service the east coast let alone truck it over to the west.

I understand that Vortex 98 will be here early next year.

ethanol is bad, right? its not-so-rare to see servo's advertising "zero ethanol" on their pumps.
