Last month I trailed Shell Optimax and got 460, 480 and 500K's per 60L tank each week. Before it, I was on around 420-440 max on normal stuff. Pretty big difference.
Also tried Caltex Vortex before Optimax, and it was SHIT. Car took 3-4 seconds to ignite on every startup and was only around 400K per 60L tank.
Done 12,000 Kms and the only fuel I hae used is BP Ultimate. Have no excuses or complaints. She doesnt ping with it either!
Only thing that really sucks is the price...$1.13 litre today :o(
