Vortex goes 98 Octane

[Evil LS1]

Driving past the Caltex near North Rocks road on Pennannt Hills road yesterday saw a big sign saying Vortex 98. I heard a rumour 2 years ago about such a move, but thought it was wrong. Well it is true. Wonder if it is any good, as those 4c shopper dockets may get some use.

Anyone know how the new 98 Vortex goes with sulphur content, I understand that BP Ultimate has quite a low sulphur content when compared with other 98RON fuels?

Doesnt look as though it is available in QLD according to their website anyway Mozz.

caltex are upgrading both there refineries in the next 12 mths to enable them to meet the new standards ie low sulpur ... so there should be a simliar fuel to ultimate from the caltex side of things early 2006
