Re: Petrol Brand
Excuse the thread rez, didn't want to start another.
I've run Mobil for the past ~3 months to no dramas... I've been getting it mainly from Metro in Peakhurst.
I recently decided on trying Shell out of the blue (came home and read the forums after FILLING THE TANK UP)... Plenty of bashing around here, and it seems pretty damn warranted.
Sputtering at startup, idle was a little meh... and there was a general lack of guts in acceleration.
The next tank was a full Caltex from Padstow... VERY happy with how the car is driving. Instantly different compared to the Shell tank, starting smooth, driving well.
Better than the Mobil fuel (guess it's a given, 7 Eleven is supplied by them, too)..

Re: Petrol Brand
Yeah, not many Shell fans here.
I either use Caltex or BP, don't seem to notice much of a difference between them.

Re: Petrol Brand
Yeah either for me. Predominantly BP because it's just more convenient (on the way home from work and another around the corner) but also use Caltex occasionally.
And yep, I refuse to use Shell too.

Re: Petrol Brand
I always threw BP into the old car.. The BP near me is stupidly overpriced but, so Caltex it is
