I meant that it was 13 cents per litre dearer than ULP.

And I thought ethanol was cheaper than petrol??

Now that Optimax Extreme has been out for a few months has anyone used it?

Has anyone done any dyno testing using it.

There seemed to be alot of talk of people going to use it and then nothing?????

Here is the new web site from Shell if you want to check it out......

I put a full tank of it through my car and easily got over 500km. I'd say 30 to 50km more than normal (95RON). And that included a full load of passengers and luggage from Willowbank to the airport.

I haven't bothered to work out the cents per km to see if it was worth it in dollar terms.

Cheers,
Hymee.
