No BP, no mobile, no vortex 98

I asked the guy working at mobil, he said that there is a 98ron shortage in victoria for some reason, so mobil and bp whom share the same fuel refinery are gonna be all out pretty soon. Next shipment is meant to be Friday, so the guy said. Vpower will have to do until then!!

Will find out today and try and post up during business hours but can only access SAU via the iphone.

Was planning to do so anyway as I went to Elwood and Kings Way last night for Ultimate. Then Kings Way Caltex and no Vortex 98 so ended up heading to Todd Road Shell for V Power. :happy:

Hahaha, sorry should have been more specific. Found out both BP stations near my house have run out of BP ultimate - my usual fuel. Still the case today.

So if there is no BP ultimate, what would people recommend as the next best 98? Did a search, but didn't turn up anything.

Any 98 will do

Really? I always heard that BP ultimate was the best, and the overwhelming majority of Jap car drivers seem to use it in preference. Considering they're all similar price, I just stuck with it because it would have a lower probability than the others of being an inferior fuel, as well as being the most populous service station around my area.

Don't know what it's worth, but certainly BP ultimate has a lot more info on the website vs the pathetic one paragraph descriptions of Vortex/V-Power/Synergy 8000, which all seem to have been written by the same guy. Most likely BP has better web designers/marketing managers, but it doesn't hurt.

I did here something about all of them coming from the same refinery, but I guess the difference is the additives they put in?

    • 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?
