Bp Ultimate..

[bluejeans]

So this morning I finish washing my car and knew I was low on fuel so I drove to the closest BP to fill up and I turn in and all the pumps have 'Sorry Out Of Order' signs on them...

I drove to another BP hoping I wouldn't run out of fuel and the same deal there!

I asked the guy why there wasn't any ultimate and he said something about BP missing a shipment or something?

It's the only fuel I use so I decided I had to put in atleast 10$ of normal premium and then decide which fuel to top up with later on..

Bit confused at which to go for at the moment.

Vortex / V-Power (if its still around?) / The United one.. / Mobil Synergy 8000 or whatever its called - or another!? if any?

Sure the question of which fuel is 'best' has been asked many times before, but id like some 'current' feedback before I head to fill up >,<

thanks

i had the same problem to.

so i had to go to bulla to fill up which is only about 15 mins away for me.

Use mobil 8000. Just as good as BP ultimate i find

[r32line]

I had the exact same thing happen to me on Tuesday night, went to my closest BP and all ultimate pumps were out, went to the other BP bit further down the road and the same thing!!

Also a friend in another area went to her BP that same night and it was out. I didn't ask anyone at the station what the story was but I guess you have and now we know....

Thankfully I was not too low as I really do not think my car will run on regular and I dont want to have to fk around with octane booster etc...

I will fill mine up with Mobil Synergy 8000 either today or tommorow as it is the next best petrol in my opinion plus I seem to get better fuel economy out of it...

Haha, I can't believe BP have run out of Ultimate (even if its only in this state)... thats pretty fkn bad!

Me and my friend just went to Bp to fill up his S14, had Ultimate.

lol @ consdering using bp 95 ron + ocatane booster instead of just using vpower or syn8000

[shaun123]

use Synergy 8000, i find its the same if not better than bp ult

[dezz]

any 98 RON will do the job...

far too many people seem to think their car needs rocket fuel to run...

[trel]

As one of the posts stated above, Synergy 8000 is good stuff, I use that all the time plus its the closest servo to me anyway. Any 98 will do, dont know about the united stuff though im not game enough to try...

[_Ryan_]

They've been like this since atleast early this week... And the servo I went too had regular at 95cpl

I use mobil when there is no bp, but I get worse around town economey, and I won't touch shell, never runs well in this car and never did in the datto

ummm i decided to try bp ultimate instead of my usual vpower and there was no difference in performance/powerband etc

oh and fuel economy was negligable, 10-20k difference a tank.

i noticed my knocks went down about 4 spots but then again it was a cold night, im sticking to vpower or ultimate but im reluctant to try mobil/vortex

[Bennett]

LOL united works fine. Although i dont get as many km's out of it and not sure if it affects power at all yet..

[Bennett]

Would a car that is tuned with v-power run better on v-power and vice versa? Is that one reason why some people including myself see differences and some dont? My car was tuned just after filling up with mobil 8000 and now it runs better on mobil and bp. Dont get as many km's out of v-power or united etc etc.

[SKYL1N]

i fill up with bp ultimate. if i cant get that then united boost 98

[Excess]

couple bps i went today had the OUT OF ORDER on the Ultimate.

I spoke to the guys at work about this and as of last week BP were running very low on Ultimate stocks so it is possible they have not yet got a shipment hence the servos are running out. I work for Reliance Petroleum (regional BP) just so you know.

Oh and I also fill up with Ultimate because my car likes it (I don't get it cheaper or anything cos I work for head office either ), VPower runs shite in my car, 8000 and Vortex are fine

It was a while ago but I am sure my firend talked to a tanker driver who was filing up the stations tank with BP Ultimate. The driver said they filled the tanker up with BP Ultimate at the same place the tankers filled up with Mobil Synergy8000. So it would mean they are the same thing. Obviously I can't confirm it any more than that but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case. I've heard a few people mention they get less slightly knock with these two fuels over Shell and others.

As far as better economy goes, surely you can't really try and compare a difference of 20km. That could easily be influenced by the way you fill up each time and it would only take a few more squirts of the throttle on the one tank compared to the other.

you are correct, they come from the same refinery but then have their own blend of additives put into them

Thats probley why I use BP too, hehe!!

I haven't filled up yet cuz I haven't ben driving much lately but if BP is out then I just puts some Mobil Synergy 8000 in.
