This is a good one.. anyone wants to try it out first???
Shell Optimax Extreme is a new super-high octane fuel with a minimum octane rating of 100, the highest currently available at any Australian service station. Shell Optimax Extreme is formulated with 5% ethanol.
Shell Optimax Extreme is formulated to deliver more engine responsiveness, sharper acceleration and enhanced power in many modern and high performance vehicles compared to other Shell premium fuels.
Ethanol is a renewable non-fossil fuel produced in Australia. When used in fuel it’s a cleaner burning, renewable component that helps to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, through the formulation with ethanol, Shell Optimax Extreme has a substantially lower sulphur and benzene content than the maximum levels set under the Federal Government’s fuel quality standards. Ethanol is a cleaner burning, renewable fuel component that helps to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions.
Shell Optimax Extreme will initially be available at selected Coles Express sites in the Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.

I heard about this a while back.. I don't think I could fill up with that.. but rest assured, the other manufacturers will come out with a 100 octane fuel.

Nothing wrong with 5%... don't let the media scare you.. 5% is nothing if you don't hold the fuel in for long lengths of time. Anyway, would not make much of a difference between 98 and 100 for a Jazz... if you were running a turbo, then you may consider it though any ethanol in a turbo engine isn't really recommended at all.

The difference between a jump from Ron91 to 100 is noticeble.. however, from 98 to 100.. Not very sure ..

Is that through the bum-o-meter or a proper dyno?
