They are not the same. Even if they are made at the same refinery, they are made to different standards and compositions.

Also some 98 fuel is shipped over from Singapore.

Yup Peak is shipped in from Singapore, I heard Caltex is trucked in from over east. I guess if their is an ultimate shortage and vortex dries up too then we have our answer!

that is 100% incorrect

Caltex 98 is derived from other sources and contains other additives.

Ultimate is not sold as anything else.

This was discusse b4 in another thread - to which I confirmed from the head engineers at BP that it is def not sold as Caltex too. (stands correct at time of print - Jan 2007)

My understanding was that BP refine 95 RON locally, then sell that to Caltex. BP and Caltex then add their own additives to make it up to 98 RON.

Off topic but.... BP Halls Head had to have their tanks inspected as the Ultimate 98 had lumps in it.

I should clarify the point I was trying to make - Same refinery but different additives yes. Either way, if BP runs out, so does Caltex.
