The Prado has 110,000km's on the clock and 90 per cent of those km's are on Woolies fuel. The Barina has 32,000km on the clock and 100 percent of those are on woolies fuel as the car is leased and came with a caltex fuel card.
Most of the time I use woolies premium ulp(believe it is caltex vortex) fuel in the boat but on the odd occasion have used BP ultimate. I do notice a slight increase in performance using the BP over the Vortex.
Cheers

There are two types of Woolies petrol stations. There are the ones which are really Caltex owned and operated, but also have Woolworths branding and those that were originally Woolworths stations and now sell Caltex fuel. There is nothing at all wrong with Caltex fuel, the cheaper and crappier fuel generaly ends up in the no name indepenants or stations where storage facilities isn't up to scratch.
Most of the brand name staions have such a high fuel turn over it doesn't sit long enough to go bad. One where I used to work in Canberra sold about 70,000 a day.
