Welcome to the 21st century TASSIE!!

[eMsta]

either way, studies conducted recently said that they expect petrol to run out in 7 years unless new areas are explored. That and the current conflict with places like Iraq puts our petrol demands at an all time high.

Better enjoy your "ultimate" for the next 7 years

[stricko]

7 Years and tassie will get stooged first b4 the mainland. God damn tassie. We'll be "importing" fuel not cars.

[SKiT_R31]

Nuhh thats bullshit, theyve been saying that for 20 years, its just used as an excuse so that the fuel companys can keep rising the price...

and really, whoopty f**king doo, in 7 years, oh well jsut spend $1000 odd $ and convert the fuel lines to be able to handle methonol/ethonaol problem solved

Atleast i can drive my skyline down here!!!!

Over there someone on their last year P's, like me, can't go anywhere near a skyline, let alone a GTR

[Wogboy]

Not long now!

[nizmokid]

[Primordial]

Well for that price i think i will stick to the 95RON

OR better still might just look at running the car on race fuel

[sav man]

hmmmmmmmmmm for 157.9 95ron powah seems the go. I pay ~5c more for 95 over 91 and ~8c more for 98 over 95 (a smaller diference)

Quote form a BP Ultimate brochure:

"BP Ultimate offers advanced engine cleaning performance. it actually cleans your engine as you drive, reducing friction and making it run more efficiently for longer ....... BP Ultimate can prevent as much as 97% of the inlet valve deposits that can form when using regular unleaded .......... test results from dyno testing 2 FPV GT's after the 2 vehicles had run for 7,000k's under identical conditions, the power output of the car running BP Ultimate was 13.8Kw greater..... our testing has shown increases of up to 43kms per tankful on average fuel consumption of 9.5L per 100K's" ... and the story goes on.

Thats all well and good but i wont to know HOW they got the 13.8kw increase.

Were they able to advance the ignition due ot knock levels being lower than before, were the FPV's the turbo model and they increased boost (if so then other mods required) its all well and goood saying that they had a 13.8kw increase but i for one would like to know how they found the additional power and also some dyno charts overlapping there runs.

As for the 43kms increase per tank full, again this can all come down to the tune.

When i first had my car going i was lucky to see 2ks to 10L and it was an expensive car to fill (hence why i didn't drive it much) but after a tune i saw a remarkable difference with fuel economy (i actually had economy )

Before the old girl went pop i was about to get 100K's from about 8L driving normally to and from work.

I was able to get 100K's from about 13-15L with gate ( mmmmmmmmmm gate)

Obviously its going to make a HUGE difference with the extra RON and this will inturn let people tune there cars for more ignition and boost and if need be more fuel.

Bring it on i say and its long overdue but i would still like to see there data from tehre testing.

BP Ultimate isn't something new (it obvioulsy is to Tassie :eerm:) but its been around for a while on the mainland and i cant see that they would of changed anything to bring it to the Apple Isle.

ouch $1.57....will only be running this now and then at this price!.......fuel companys are crooks!....how much is it on the mainland????

give it a few weeks and it will bump to $1.65 .....!

[Primordial]

Sydney:

it's usually 10-12c dearer than regular, and regular fluctuates between 129.9 to 143.9

Ultimate is usually 139.9 to 153.9 (rarely as high as 153 though!)

[DJRIFT]

im not sure if id worry about using it on a stock motor like mine. especialy when i only realy drive it to work. and the extra kms you get per tank would have to be added up against cost.
