From memory every time I've bought BP Ultimate, it's been exactly 10c dearer than regular unleaded. I visited a petrol station tonight that was charging 15c more for Ultimate than regular!

Has anyone else noticed if there is a consistent difference in price between regular and ultimate?

Yeah thats rooted,

95 RON is supposed to be 7 cents more per litre and 98 RON is supposed to be 10 cents per litre more. So shop around i guess.

BP has premium, and then they have ultimate..where as shell for example has unleaded, unleaded 95, and optimax

optimax is always 10c more than regular unleaded, with 95 about 6-7cents more...

BP ultimate has always been about 13c more than BP's regular from memory.

hmm interesting.. my memory isnt known for being great, but i could swear every time I see the price of ultimate, it's only 10c dearer.. oh well its only a couple of bucks per fill at the end of the day! Kinda annoying though that some servo's are charging more for the sake of profit :D

bahh JaR sif win! I never win those scratchies. Most the time the dudes are stingy and dont give me one and I cbf'ed to ask for one.

Yea my local BP is ~10c more, some places are ~12c more, just depents on the location I guess.

There was this one time last week, this BP had normal Unleaded for 129.9 (This was when everywhere was 139.9) and the Ultimate price was ~15c more. ie. 144.9. Which negated the saving.

Ah well If you can afford to drive a Turbo car you can afford petrol. :D

Yeah thats exactly what this servo was like today. 129.9 and 144.9... I guess its just luck of the draw..

As I say to anyone who asks "Why would you drive that car if it uses so much petrol!?"

The answer: "You wouldnt understand unless you drove it, and the answer is NO, you can't drive it!!" :D

When you fill up more than $20 of ultimate, they're supposed to give you a scratchie on which you can win an FPV Falcon or free fuel or some gay CD (which I now have two copies of) or some other stuff i think.. .I dont think the comp will be on much longer tho... its been going a while!

Yeah same here in Central QLD, ultamite/optimax is always 12-12c dearer, and it's not the stations that govern the price, it's the wholesalers, I used to work at servos, and got the call from head office telling me to change the price 3 times in one 8hour period OVERNIGHT in brissie..........

I got one on Sunday.

The other grand prize is a trip to Europe to sample some of the supercars, and visit the Paris Motor Show.

You can keep your Ford. I'll take the trip to Europe and hopefully get a drive of a Lambo / Fazza etc. :ermm:

I'll find out what supercars you get to sample, if I were to win, before I decide.

I can always make a little money to pay for mods. Making lots of money to pay for a drive of a Zonda, on the other hand..........

Its not like Hertz will have one for rental.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
