98 from BP is yellowish, slightly (very slightly) green.
Don't use other ones so I cannot comment.

The 95 that I usually put in my bike looks pretty yellow, not sure how you'd tell the difference between that and 98 (which also looks yellow).

I believe yellowish is the natural colour of gas
Like WRF is similar colour as PB98, but smells entirely different.
You can dell difference between 91, 95 and 98 just by smell.

or that there was at least more than one common one

that's all I needed to know.

Had some yellow stuff that was meant to be 98,

And it looks like it is 98 then.


I had a feeling 91 was yellow,

but then all i've seen in the last year really is diesil for the van,
and avgas for the race car.
