There have been multiple threads about fuel but it certainly doesn't cause any harm to bring it up again.

On a local performance forum I am a contributor to (not related to Chrysler) they ran a poll for the members to vote on their favourite fuel, and of course the thread grew with all the war stories. The clear winner was BP Ultimate (about 75%). Shell got a bagging. Anecdotal stories suggest Ultimate is refined to be 100 RON and that it retains 98 RON even after 12 months "shelf" life. Shell fuel allegedly is the king for RON degradation, and after only 1 week will have dropped markedly.

My own personal experience was on a country trip, heading north on Shell 98 RON and the return on Caltex Vortex 98 RON. The trip indicated a whole 1lt/100 better on the return trip and was confirmed by the calculated MPG result.
