Petrol sold in Australia is either refined from crude oil in Australian refineries or imported as a finished product from overseas.

OK, so I looked in to this further and came across this artice from last year
https://www.caradvice.com.au/748124/...ed-until-2027/ which indicates that no matter where we buy our fuel from, its all kinda garbage compared to the rest of the world...AND we have to wait another 7 years before we can get cleaner fuel.
Is it still worth my time getting "type A" fuel over "type B" as i can't seem to find any info on whether BP additives are better than what Shell puts in their 98RON.
