i liked the caltex shit in my gtr.. but mostly put in bp as there usually have pumps free caus cheep c**ts are trying to save their 4c

which is what 124 bucks a year on a 60l tank a week..

but so many times accidently put in the 95.. tho this was when i had the gti-r

This has actually be covered before... The story is that BP Ultimate achieves its 98 Octane rating by refinement etc..

Other '98 Octane' fuels actually use additives to get a 98 Octane rating. This also means anything other than BP Ultimate will go off very fast because of all the additives, whereas Ultimate will last a lot longer.

For those of you that didn't know this, something to consider. I myself would NEVER put any other 98 in other than Ultimate unless I was like stranded and running on empty.

Well guys where I'm living Vortex is Caltex's Premium os it's only 96 octane and I have had dirty fuel twice from Optimax and therefore i'm running Ultimate never had any issues with it car runs perfect.

Well thats my 2 cents anyway

Many people believe that both fuels are manufactred from the same place. I dont believe this myself but both will prob contain same chemicals, addictives.

Is it worth say buying prem unleaded and puttin in a bottle of octane booster. i have heard of a few people doin this.

BP fuel is so expensive compared to the others. Is there a bp discount card or somethin.

Many people believe that both fuels are manufactred from the same place. I dont believe this myself but both will prob contain same chemicals, addictives.

My dad works for the BP refinery and yes he does say the fuel is manufactured in the same place.. maybe shell add those additives to if after or something i dont know. i still choose to use ultimate over optimax, maybe its just in my head lol.

The income in Canada... or were i live is about $64,000/ year. that is the yearly average for British Columbia.

Our minimum wage in Canada is $8.50/ hour..

But the gas that is $3+/L is our race fuel 103 the 110 is $5+/L.

I belive that the gas prices for our 94 Octane is sitting at $1.20/L right now. That is called "Super Premium" and we can only get it at 1 Gas Station. Cheveron.

I think that our dollar is Slighty stronger then the AUD. $1 Canadian is worth $1.20 AUD

Dee 33,

With all respect we know theres more to a fuel than the power figures it puts out..

And yes, BP handle all the fuels. But Ultimate is made to their own, I believe they won't sell it to any other companies, hence why everyone else uses additives to regular premium.

As Johhny said, Ultimate is Ultimate. :D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
