From what i have heard there are issues with the refineries!
In Canberra we haven't had Ultimate for about 4 weeks now!

It’s been like this for over a month now, BP having a problem with their refinery, it was on the news.
I just use Mobil Synergy 8000 for now, anything is better then Optimax.

Depends where you are, i found some place is cheaper, some are more expensive....
I think Mobil, Caltax, & Shell is milking the situation now

I live in good old qld and have no problems filling up with bp ultimate

Synergy is very veyr similar to Ultimate, the only difference is Ultimate is slightly more dense.
Vortex I only use for long trips where i don't need 98RON.
Downside of Optimax is it has touline, which in short from what i have heard is not great for your car.

Boris, Vortex 98 doesn't cause any problems with my car....you should give it a shot if things get desperate.
