Read the fine print…and in-between the lines…… (i declare an unfair advantage)
They have admitted they are still a long ways to go.
Interesting observation though, apart from Geelong, where else does shell produce Avgas?

Shell probably has more R&D budget in a week than those two combined since they started!
I note Shell's internal research has been going on for 10 years--about the same time as the other players. Time will tell who comes up with the best brew .
I think it's bull crap.
I don't trust Shell....never did. How do you you think they managed to get 98 in their Optimax?..... Add ethanol. Simple as that. It caused sticky valvels, gummed up fuel system, blocked fuel filters, swollen fuel lines in carburetted cars, poor fuel economy, hard starting.......I can go on further. Now they are contaminating aviation?.......
No thanks.
