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

what scratchies is everyone talkin about?! ive never been given 1!

the local BP that I have to go to is not only out of my way, but its a shit hole. what kind of petrol station closes at 6pm? and all the ultimate pumps are fked, they click like its full every few seconds!

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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
