I THINK there's a Caltex w/ Vortex in Eight Mile Plains (up from the busway - on Logan road before you hit the freeway / garden city)
No promises though ;) |

i remember the vortex 98 used to be the most noticable in the bike (zzr 250) others like optimax wasn't much different in performance to regular.

The reason i asked is that I am just running some tests in my Focus (LR Zetec) to see which fuel responds best to both driveability and economy. So far have only tried Sloptimax and BP Ultimate, and the BP wins hands down. And Yes, you are right Annerley did have the pumps the other day when i drove through, but they had no fuel in their tanks! |

I am fairly sure that there no Vortex 98 anywhere in QLD, it is Sydney and surrounding areas only

If its the 'standard' PULP,the 'local' mobil @ Aspley has it for only 5c per litre more than ULP! From personal experience, I feel Optimax98 is overrated as a fuel. |

FYI, Click on this link for Mobil: and click on Qld, then on the Synergy 8000 icon, shows that of all places it is sold @ Bundaberg Airport, and @ Normanton... Now I cant see too many performance vehicles based in Normanton (on Gulf of Carpentaria), that dont run on diesel... mmm most Bizarre... There is also a downloadable spreadsheet as well... Flappist, if you are in H'bay, do you get to Bundy Often? If you do, swing by that servo next time (Personally cant see the attraction of going to Bundy, unless getting another whisky barrel)

Bundy Airport Mobil is a private site owned by Wessel Petroleum who are the Mobil Distributer for this region. If they did have access to 8000 it would be in ALL or their service stations. Shell Opti 100 is an ethanol product and based on the results I have achieved with Boost 98...... bugger that!! |
