scoobs don't like bp mate,most det like hell on it.if you need to use it make sure you have some octane booster in there as well.

Youd be better off using cheaper Tesco 99RON SUL.

Question,

If BP Ultimate is so crap, why are Ford using it in their WRC Car & doing so much better than us???

ORRRR< is it a different BP Ultimate?????

Hi BP is fine for cleaning the engine once and a while but not for everyday use my WRX with PPP goes noticeably quicker with V Power......

Have an article in evo mag about different petrols. One thing they say is Subarus prefer Shell (Opti/Vpower), Mitsis prefer BP ulti.

Nuff said

Ford also used BP fuel because BP are team sponsors, to the tune of one big stack of cash every year

Pretty sure they were the teams main sponsor until Abu Dhabi tourist board (or whatever they call themselves) came along.

Couldn.t get my normal V power 2 weeks ago so I used BP ultimate. Knocklink was showing red light .Had to drive off boost till I refilled with V power.

So,

The BP Ultimate is 102?

Is that the £3+ per litre stuff.


Also, Waitrose SUL, out of interst, any idea who makes for them??

Thanks.

i've used bp but its the same as norm super unleaded

but v-power is better by miles, i mostly use super unleaded anyways
the car was mapped for min of 97ron so is safe to use

but between tesco 99 & v-power?
about the same

Tesco 99 for me .... almost 5p per litre cheaper than Shell ... and when you are putting 3-4 tanks in a week it makes some difference ... roll on those club card points

A tenner isn't a huge amount of money but it is 3 pints and a small wine/fruit based drink for the lady.
