I'm concerned that our already substandard petrol is being further adulterated by lolly water, sorry, Ethanol. As you know there is no requirement to display the ethanol content at the bowser.
Has anyone got any information about which companies/service stations/refineries are adding ethanol, and how much?
BTW I'm presently running on Caltex Vortex, which although only 95 RON seems to work better than the competition in my 2.0L engine, which is tuned for 95 RON. Yes, I've tried Mobil Synergy 8000 which was very average, and BP Ultimate which was pretty good. I also got sick of being slugged 8-10cpl extra for MS8000 or BPU. CV is *always* 5cpl more, regardless of the discounting cycle.
Regrettably, Shell have recently said they have shelved plans to introduce Optimax to South Australia.
