Years ago, Mobil was the Brand but now doesn't get a mention. Does anyone know any info? Are their fuels rubbish?
Here in Newcastle NSW the 7-11 have Mobil branding (including the old flying red horse) but don't offer a 98 ron fuel. They have a 95 which they market as "Special" fuel. My experience is that it doesn't give any better mileage than than 91 unleaded in my EL XR8 around town running.

My experience with dyno runs has been that BP Ultimate 98 generally produces the best numbers and dyno operators told me the same

I notice that local BP truck stop with the Ultimate diesel are promoting with signage on the bowser that it "busts dirt in 2 tanks".
