Default Which 98

I did ask this not long after we started getting Vortex 98 but though it has been a while so see if opinions have changed.

I have a BP and Caltex fuel card so never touch any of the others. Our local is a BP and is usualy one of the cheaper ones so go with that but honestly can't notice a difference between the two.

Has anyone had a re tune on vortex ( or one of the others ) and being able to push the tune a bit more because of the fuel???

i only use caltex or BP, i have never wanted to try peak 98. I havent noticed any difference between the 2, although if the car was tuned it might be a different story.

Ultimate all the way! I tried Vortex 98 for a while but got pissed off when they ran out of it a few times. It sucks hunting for a petrol station when you know you've got a litre - maybe 2, left in the tank.

I didn't notice a difference in power or economy - the car ran really well for those couple of weeks... but lately it's been running really well on Ultimate - I think its the colder weather rather than the fuel.

Where do United source their 98 from, is it Kwinana as BP and Caltex or imported as Peak?

I use BP and Caltex 98 and haven’t noticed a difference, I’ll leave Peak until a reputation has built up.

With so many members using BeePee Ultimate Petroleum Distallate we should organize a discount card for P-Diddy members. 25% off would be nice
