Don't know what part of town you frequent, but it must be very limited.
Almost every 7-11 in Newcastle has 98 RON Mobil fuel, it's called Supreme+ & is the Red coloured hose.
The "special" fuel you talk of isn't 95 RON, it's regular unleaded 91 RON, (Deep Blue hose). You don't get any better mileage than 91 unleaded, because you're only using 91 unleaded.
Extra (which is a lighter Blue hose) is 95 RON & then they have Special E10 which is Green coloured hose & is 94 RON.
I've been using Mobil/7-11 98 RON fuel in my FPV Cobra quite a lot over the past 12 months, cause 7-11's seem to be in abundance everywhere I go.
I haven't had a problem with it.
I use BP Ultimate whenever possible, but haven't used a lot over the past 12 months.
Last 5 tanks have been 2 Ultimate & 3 Shell V-Power. I haven't done exacting calculations, just comparing regular similar trips & how often I need to fill up, but I seem to be getting more mileage out of the V-Power than both BP Ultimate & Mobil/7-11 Supreme+ 98?
