In earlier days when Shells Optimax came out, many busas tried them including myself. I cant say I found anything negative in using it but others complained about that fuel as not being quite right and many stopped using it. Either way justified or not I switched over to BP Ultimate 98 when they first came out, maybe 6-7 yrs ago. Well I have only used Ultimate ever since inspite of them hiking up the price diff from regular. Originally it was +4.5c now I believe its +11c. I guess what keeps me on Ultimate is that not only I have experienced no adverse reactions from it but I like the idea of the additives keeping my fuel jets clean....supposedly. To date now 11+ yrs old and with 81.000 on the clock I havent ever had my jets cleaned and throttle response to date has always been crisp and sharp. Still goes like the Beast it always was. I will always ride the extra k's for BP Ultimate, I have never bought any other fuel since maybe just once a bit of Vortex to get me home or to the next BP station.
