I'm moving back to Syd this weekend after 3 months in QLD, and all this talk of 98 shortage sucks! :ninja:

If only I could fill up tanks of the stuff whilst up here before the drive back down.

I wonder how far out of Syd I should fill up before I hit the shortage zones.......

Hey guys,

Was at Norwest today having a bit of lunch..i walked over to BP...and i look over to the bowsers...no "sorry we're out of stock" things on the ultimate..so i think to myself...maybe they've just blown away or something. Anyway go inside..get to the counter, and my curiousity gets the better of me so i ask the guy if they've got ultimate back in..this is the good bit..

his answer: "YES WE DO!"

Loving it!!! hopefully picking my car up today so i know where i'm going!!!

Cheers

Nick

srsly, the shortage isn't that bad... it just started out with V Power Racing, and they actually had a reason for it! I don't know why others are out, but I have never really had any problems finding stuff... If one station was out, the very next one I went to always had some so far...

depends on your area. I have driven past 5 servos in a row (Mobil, BP, Caltex etc) and NONE of them had 98RON. However, some servos seem to be able to get it. I think if you're higher up the food chain you get it, if you aren't then stiff shit.

At first the shortage was only on mondays and tuesdays (cheapest days of the week, no coincidence I'm sure..) but now some of the smaller servos are permanently out.

I've found plenty of places with V-Power Racing. Off the top of my head; Hurstville, Kingsford and Miranda all had it last time I looked. Its a $1.65 a litre though, and could possibly be very old due to that fact. Caltex 98 is a bit easier to find however.

  • 3 weeks later...

I have been using Mobil 98 on Victoria Rd as its the only servo I can find with the 98 RON stuff.

So this morning I was filling up got to about $25 and pump slowed down then dribbled off before dying at $32. (i need about $70 for a full tank). Servo guy told me I ran the station dry of his last RON98.

BAH! :P

    • Wild idea, can you do half and half? Lol.  
    • I’ve dedicated my career to the car transport industry. Over the years, I’ve worked across every part of the process — from arranging pickups and managing drivers, to ensuring vehicles are delivered safely and on time. I know how much people value their cars, whether it’s a family vehicle, a dealership delivery, or a classic car, and I make it my responsibility to treat every transport job with care and transparency. As an independent member of the Car Transport Association, I represent not just my own work, but also the broader interests of customers and carriers. I believe in raising standards across the industry — better safety checks, clearer condition reporting, fairer pricing, and honest communication. My approach is practical: solve problems before they happen, make processes easier for drivers and customers, and always keep the focus on reliability. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear communication. I provide updates, photos, and accurate delivery times so that customers know exactly where they stand. My goal is simple: safe, transparent, and trustworthy vehicle transport, every single time. If you’re looking for a partner in car transport who values accountability and professionalism, I’d be glad to connect.
    • Because sometimes I do dumb shit and because I kept thinking about 6.6kWh worth of PVs wouldn't be fully enough if I'm consuming during the day as well as charging. So I did a thing, added another 5kW of PVs lol. Since there's a spare MPPT port, why the fk not?
