BP Ultimate is the best...

[veclubby]

normally i fill up with shell premo but last time i filled up with bp ultimate and i got an extra 100km out of my tank!

this stuff works wonders hey, ill definately pay a little bit more for an extra 100km, and i get more response.

anyone else noticed the difference between shell and bp?

cheers

[vy_storm]

An extra 100km sounds excessive. Are you sure it wasn't just a longer run with less city k's? Have used several types in the ute and notice little to no difference in km's but response is a little better.

[253@7k]

Hail bp ultimate, the only one i use. I seem to get around 50-100ks more than shell, norm uleaded, etc. The only one that equals it is vortex.

[veclubby]

nah i did a test used 50 litres of shell and 50 litres of bp to compare them all city driving haven't been on any long runs. and with same driving style i got 350km from the shell and 450km from the bp.

yeh i tried to make it fair as i was curious wat the result would be, and i was very suprised.

yeh bp ultimate all the way, i no wat ill be putting in my car from now on.

cheers

Shell is renowned for having shit fuel anyway, especially if it was the Optimax Extreme you were using.

[batemada]

we dont get Optimax Extreme here in NZ, at least not yet.....

The highest grade we can get here legaly at the pump is 98 octane

You mean Shell V-Power Racing

I actually tried it, it did make quite a difference when comparing the the 2 power ranges on the dyno, however, it has ethanol and i refuse to pay 17c a litre more for a shitty waste product in a fuel.

yep bpult is gr8 stuff

[Jamie_87]

i noticed same difference when i converted from shell optimax to bp ultimate, i get more milage outta it and car is more responsive and smoother idle. I used to use about 60buks a week on optimax, i now use about 50buks a week on ultimate, and average about 380k's a tank, which is pretty good since i like to take off pretty hard, i know i would save heaps more fuel is i took off slower(i still do the speed limit and dnt rev over 4k rpm, im just quick off the line, i love g force,lol).

I haven't noticed much difference between the 2 fuels.

[1991_Vn2nV]

I havent noticed much difference between the 2 fuels except that BP cost about $10 more per tank, it only gives an extra 10-20 km per tank full if driven sedately, and maybe makes the engine a bit more responsive - which gives more incentive to chomp it everywhere and get shit fuel economy. My fuel useage actually started worsening under BP so I've only been using Shell for the last 6 mths, saving 4c extra per Litre on the dockets... and just using 1/2 fills rather than full tanks to improve economy. Acceleration is better with the lighter load aswell... So in the end I dont end up noticing the difference between BP and Shell anyhow...except maybe in the wallet....Now if i worked my notor over with more boost then I'd start using a higher grade fuel ...

I laugh my head off at some of the people at Mobil aye where you need to spend $5 in store to get 4 cents a litre off. They buy $15 of fuel then spend $5 in store to get 4 cents a litre off... saving themselves 35 cents on the fuel. But Mobil laughs all the way to the bank... seein as we make more money from selling a can of coke than we do 30 Litres of petrol

The dockets are different, as long as you dont go out of your way for it so you can save $1.10 on half a tank of fuel.

Unsure how BP costs $10 more per tank though... Normally its around 8-10 cents per litre more. 60L x $0.09 a litre = $5.40 per tank. So you could get an extra 5L with 91 octane shell to get you 40km's further...which is how much further I get with a tank of BP Ultimate anyway. So for me, it works out very cost effective so im not losing any money in the end and im getting more response, better acceleration and of course its alot better for your engine than any of the Shell crap. Even if its not, im more than willing to spend a little extra to get a better quality fuel.

i find running my car on higher octane petrol makes it use more.
i usally buy caltex or mobil regular, i would try bp but caltex and mobil are on the way to work and back.

[PEAKN6]

ive heard several times that its not only the price of petrol going down but the quality is too (mainly in standard ULP). i have an 85 VK 3.3 and i dont wanna risk farking the motor up in it coz the dude that dyno tuned it for me said that it was a realy healthy motor, so i wanna keep it that way. not 100% sure but before putting my car on the dyno i put some BP Ult in it and she pulled 72rwkw, which realy suprised me, when driving it did make a difference, but whithout it i think i would've got maybe bout 67-69kw judging by the performance on the road. we only have one BP with BP Ultimate wich is out on the highway so most of the time its runnin Premo but its still much better than the standard crap.

I have a larger than standard tank...I think its 70 L... I've put 65 litres in it a few times after hitting reserve. When I did the comparo between the 2 fuels I ran 3 full tanks of BP Ultimate and ran the tank till the low fuel light came on between fills to ensure I flushed the old fuel out... BP Ultimate was about 10 c more per litre than Shell PREMIUM 95 octane at the time... so 65 x 0.10 = $6.50 plus 65 x 0.04 = $ 2.60 (discount doc) = $9.10 saving over BP (close enough to $10)... so if I go though a tank per week thats $9.10 x 52 = $473.20 saved per year !!! I wont run anything less than 95 octane...as my motor is boosted !

[crazywog]

no way will i touch that bh ultimate, MOBIL 8000 all the way bro its way better response less congestion and clean fuel u still get the same as untimate just get a better response if u dont believe me ask SSN8R aka axi.

You must have a 73L V8 tank then. Which is more understandable as its an extra 14L over the 59L VS tank, however BP must have been extra expensive that day as here in Adelaide atleast its around 10 cents a litre more than 91 octane, not 95 octane.

However BP Ultimate is still much better Better response, economy, acceleration and power. Not to mention it CLEANS (Mobil 8000 and BP Ultimate contain cleaning additives in the fuel) your engine rather than dirtying it like standard fuel and it is overall much better for your engine and your fuel system.

But each to their own. As I noted earlier, it costs me the same for BP Ultimate as it does standard unleaded because of the economy difference, so I have nothing to lose, where as I guess you do ($$$).

hahahahah i love when people say this.


Mate, you do realise that Mobil 8000 is a blend op Ultimate and mobils own fuel right?

[1991_Vn2nV]

Ahhh no mate. It is Mobils own fuel with an added fully synthetic package of cleaning additives and other additives as well. Theres a book at work that details what is in each of Mobils fuels, oils and lubricant...I'll try and check the book at work tonight and find out exactly what additives are in the 'synthetic package'.

PM me your phone number and i will get you one of mobil head offices managers if he has the time to contact you and tell you otherwise

[JD]

every car is different and owners find different fuels work for different cars.

so vn2nv says bp utimate is the best for his car where as crazywog beleives mobil 8000 does the trick for his car neither are wrong its just that this is what they find most effective.

[1991_Vn2nV]

Hmmm... I looked through the data sheet folder, the fuel and sytems information folder and every other folder that could say but I couldnt find much.

Every data sheet etc. I found just said 'High Grade 98 RON Fuel' and would then list the mobil additives and detergents which are mixed in with the fuel.

I asked the Territory Manager (2 Territory Managers per state) and the territory manager didnt know anything of it either. The territory manager said BP is Mobil Exxons largest competitor, and it would not make any sense for Mobil Exxon to get their 98 RON fuel from BP.

But I cant find any exact info so I wont argue because I cant be positive.

[greenfoam]

The only trouble with BP fuel is that whatever toxic crap they put in it to make it such a great fuel is way more powerful fume wise than the other brands almost makes me pass out at the pump!:P

I understand what your saying, but it is why BP reccomended people use Synergy 8000 whne the shortage of Ultimate was going on

[Full Spectrum]

I have used all fuel and only Caltex runs good in the car. I get better economy running 91 ULP. But now I'm into my second tank of Vortex Gold and i believe if i didn't hit the freeway the other night to Werribee for a spin i would only get 400km on the tank. Right now it's 190km used only a 1/4.
I don't know about power at the moment my car isn't in good tune right now.

[crazywog]

as for optimax which is now called V POWER RACING just the name change optimax extreme is the ethanol belnded fuel with 100 % octane i used to use that and got told that ethanol wasnt good for cars. so i got told by axi aka SSN8R to use mobil 8000. dont get me wrong bp ultimate isnt that bad now i mix both fuel half tank of mobil and half tand bp ultimate does the trick and car runs alot better, and i get more power which means more accelaration.
