For those that are interested. I emailed Shell and this is their response. (Also posted on main board)


My e-mail question -

I have been a Shell customer for many years

I drive a performance car that needs to run on 100RON Octane fuel.

Is Optimax 95 RON fuel with octane bosters added to take it to 98.6RON?

Or is it pure 98.6 RON?

It is unclear from your pumps/web site what Optimax ACTUALY is.

Once I know the answer to this question I will be able to determine what
fuel to put in my car with what Octane booster, if any.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best wishes
Steve Whitehorn


Shells Response -

Thank you for your e-mail regarding Shell Optimax.
We guarantee that the octane rating of Shell Optimax is 98, but more
typically it is slightly higher, up to 98.6. This is the highest octane
fuel currently available in the UK.
It is not just the octane rating that differentiates Shell Optimax from
other fuels. Shell Optimax is a unique highly refined new formulation which
burns more cleanly to give you smooth power delivery. It is able to do this
because:

* as the petrol with the highest octane rating in the UK it enables advanced
modern design engines to work more efficiently thereby delivering more power

*it has the ability to remove performance sapping deposits left by other
fuels from the airways of the engine

*it is free of the heavy constituents of petrol that leave dirty residue in
you engine.

The combination of these effects means that the fuel and air flow smoothly
and quickly to the engine, buring more effectively to give you increased
performance and a quicker response.

If you require any further information then please do not hesitate to
contact our Customer Service Centre on our free phone number 0800 731 8888.

If you read carefully they haven't answered our question.
So only tests undertaken by our fellow Scoobynet fuel spod types will clear this one up

Cheers
