lol shells do exist in brisbane, there's one just down the road from me (sunnybank, so a bit out of the way for you i guess)

but i'm yet to find any 100ron fuel anywhere in brisbane yet.

so if anyone know where we can get 100ron fuel from that would be great.

while we r on this topic, how much difference is there between the 98 and 100 ron fuels? i've tried 95 (by accident) and 98, and i cant tell any real difference

i tried 95 last time i refilled as well borep. seemed the same until the tank was gettin a bit lower then it started to feel pretty weak. like driving along logan motorway i kept catching myself doing 90 instead of the 100 i usually do with the same amount of foot. then again i was driving home from work at 7am so i might have just been hallucinating

hmm it says on shell site they have optimax extreme at sherwood, surfers paradise, and a few other locations. i guess extreme is the same as v-power.

i'm pretty sure optimax extreme is their old 100ron fuel. v-power is supposedly new formula, but ppl seem to be doubtful on if they just changed the name for marketing or something.

hhaha, i love it. "same amount of foot"

yeh extreme was renamed to v-power racing
v-power racing = 100 ron
v-power = 98 ron
shell 95 = 95 ron
shell unleaded = 91 ron

so it was just rename? actually same formula etc?

i'd hope so lol (although i remember when i first saw it at the servo, i'm like "hmm... that's new, wonder whats different about it" lol)

why not just get some good quality octane boost n add it to premium(98RON)

cos it works out costing more than 100ron, and i dont trust them.

lol, nuh seriously, has anyone used them before (the octain boost thingos)? any comments?

yeah i tried them and higher rated octane fuel and i dont notice much (if any) improvement at all. neither are worth the money in my opinion

Post by **BorepYano** » Fri Nov 10, 2006 1:21 am

i think i noticed a little bit of difference today, i added about 1/2 tank of 95 to my tank when i was almost empty (had 98 in there before). didnt really notice much difference till today, my tank was running low again.... it kinda feels like my accelerator pedal doesnt work as well as it did before, lol, i just had to put my foot down harder to get the same acceleration.

btw does anyone know hoe much extra the 100ron is? been too lazy to actually drive down to check. lol
