Optimax V70-XC70

Has anybody seen any great advantage from using Shell Optimax. I drive a non turbo V70 and pay about 5% more for Optimax. I read that the only gains are at maximim power.

I just started using Sunoco Untra 94 last week. I noticed a difference right away. Better performance, really noticed power increase when using the AC. better milage and better for the environment. I'm on my 4th tank, won't be swithching back.

I know this is tangential but I used to use Shell gas but because of their bad reputation in the area of global ethics and responsibility I try not to go there anymore.

Optimax V70-XC70 1998

Hey John, I've been using Optimax Gold for the last 2 years, and the biggest difference, I find is that the car runs alot smoother than if I use a lower grade gas. Regarding mileage, the difference is probably marginal (those are just my observations, could be different for other V70's out there.


Regards,
Rich - 98'R AWD.
