Guest Guests Posted 21/09/05 03:55 AM Share Posted 21/09/05 03:55 AM Caltex Vortex,Tried all the other 98RON rated fuels, didn't mind Mobil and BP, but alwats came back to Caltex, just seemed to run smoother and a lot crispier. I stay away from OPTI CRAP, oh and also the 'save 8c' per litre when you use the shopper docker and VISA, VISA charges a surcharge when you use your card!!!!!!

While doing so he looked at the bowser and saw the 98 RON was 6 cents a litre cheaper than the 92 RON.At the time he just thought it to be a mistake or the pump price hadn't been updated. I informed him that I had read about a "farmers fuel" in which they use 10% ethanol from wheat. On telling him this he said he saw the CSR symbol next to the 98 RON price on the sign out front but thought nothing of it.From other threads/ other forums I have read of people having unknowingly using this fuel without any noticable problems.I guess at the price you could be tempted to give it a go.Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need all the help I can get in the Focus In the T, I used to run a tank of Caltex (Vortex 95RON) through every now and again, and I think that helped - clean out the lines or something.
