kirjo Member 113 Member For: 15y 8m 25d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 13/10/09 01:20 PM Share Posted 13/10/09 01:20 PM (edited) WTF? I have only ever used V-Power, thinking that it was the same thing as Optimax. That used to be the control fuel run in the Supercars. Now I am hearing it is only 95RON I think I will be changing to BP Ultimate. Not happy! Edited 13/10/09 10:03 PM by tab Quote removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotom Team Bute Donating Members 1,550 Member For: 21y 7m 25d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 18/11/09 04:47 AM Share Posted 18/11/09 04:47 AM Anyone noticed that South Australian Mobil dealers no longer display the Synergy 8000 label on the pumps? Went to 3 different outlets that I've used in the past, and none of them stock Synergy 8000 anymore.The pumps now display UNLEADED UNLEADED 95 and UNLEADED 98http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/business/items/200911/s2741458.htmI guess they must be stocking the Caltex Vortec now. I guess this has happened over the past month, and they have now altered their display panels at the pumps accordingly. Maybe it's my imagination, but I have sensed a drop in performance in the past few weeks. I hadn't suspected fuel, but maybe that's why. I guess its time to retune for BP Ultimate.
