Cool - don't think we get that here in the uK.

I reckon the premium petrol does make a fair difference.

maybe it's the same as shell optimax recently introduced in the uk

i used it for 1200 miles, saw a slight improvement in performance although nothing special and economy only increased by less than 1mpg.

not worth the extra 10% (near) so i went back to normal unleaded.

Yes it's the same, shell optimax with shell V power as it's called here in Greece. Also the "racing" is the one with 99 oct.
I used the regular one but I didn't see any difference to my pug so use now BP super unleaded with 98oct. and it costs about 0,85 euro. It's even cheaper than the regular shell V-Power!

I use Shell Optimax or Mobil Synergy 8000 both 98 Ron. Price is generally about A$0.05 per litre more expensive than regular unleaded (with is about 1p) and price per litre is around A$0.90-$1.00 per litre (about 30-35p). Given that there's no huge price difference I use higher octane. It may not show huge performance benefit but I'm assured it burns cleaner

We're just poor ex convicts out here, we don't have your affluence.

Sorry for any depression caused

Yeah it's a real slum in this country. None of you would want to live here.

And the weather's cr@p too.
