Yeah well before the Caltex/Woolworths merger/agreement Woolies used the cheap el crapo stuff.
They still do but its hit 'n miss as caltex also have ways of sourcing fuel. Well United buy the Trafigura crap,and I see loads of Toll trucks there too which normally go to Woolies outlets. P.S Trafigura is also right near my work, but at the moment its Nameless, apparently its been sold???????

I mean to say anyone flying into Sydney airport has a 50/50 chance of flying over their plant at Kurnell and they have one in Brisbane too. Indeed if I am not mistaken Mobil fuel in NSW and QLD is mostly suppled by Caltex. Bottom line is where the fuel comes from varies from state to state and in some cases week to week too. Also all fuel sold in Aust meets minimum standards. What can and does effect fuel quality is how it is stored. |

Okay to clarify,
On the Peninsula area Of Victoria United Fuel & Safeway Fuel (the ones that were Safeway+ Petrol before the merger with Caltex) use Trafigura PRE MADE overseas fuel with little / No refinery in Australia!

BTW as you are probably aware Trafigura is a trader and not a refiner of petrol and other fuels. |

This is the reason why fuel companies would be loathed to enter into any long term fixed price supply contract at the moment.

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 Last edited by Jason Mac; 27th December 2008 at 01:49 AM. Reason: added more info |
