I've seen the fuels tested on some show on T.V. For the dyno run use Shell V Power. Not Shell V Power Racing of course as it's the one with Ethanol. On high horsepower applications a few more KW's were achieved with V Power over B.P. 98 etc.

i use bp ultimate only

ive been told many times that shell is the lowest octane of them all

I can't notice any difference between the two when driving.

V Power is 98 octane. Don't listen to tossers that tell you otherwise.

i dunno but my mate keeps telling shell racing for sydney is good as well

now thats no bp fuel ey ,lol ,but it is 100 octane

The 100 octane Shell is V Power RACING. It has ethanol in it and evidently isn't suitable for the fuel systems on older cars.

cant be that bad surely

apparently the ethanol eats away at the older rubber lines?

Well they don't sell VPower racing over here in Perth. We have BP98, Peak98 or Caltex 98.
