Bp Ultimate None Left !

[Bluprint]

None in Canberra from the looks of it, so I'm sampling some Synergy 8000... can't really pick any different at all as yet... done about 100kms

[Terminal]

Yeah i found that the other day too, i went for Vortex for a change. i'll try Synergy next.

I think Jamison might have some, it's about 20c more expensive than everywhere else, so i don't see many people buying from there

Ok..

Just rang the customer support line @ BP - as you can tell i'm very busy ..

1. They have had to get a shipment from Amsterdam to restock which left a while ago and was due this week.. (due in about 1 & 1/2 weeks time - that was a week ago) so should be back in action soon..

2. He said that WA has been rectified and that they weren't having any issues, anyone want to give us an update on this..

3. They'll prob start in Sydney as there is a shortage across the East Coast of AUS - so cross fingers.. should be all good soon..

Cheers

well.. in the time since I called them.. I also emailed them .. goto have more than one source don't you..

here is the response..

i commented that I must use 98RON and don't want to swap to other fuel.. also asked for a forecast on when the fuel would be back in action..

Thank you for getting in touch and we deeply regret our inability to supply BP Ultimate or Premium Unleaded at this time.

We are working extremely hard to resume supply but it will be mid late December before for all sites are to be restored to their normal fuel supply levels.

In the meantime we are recommending that all drivers who are unsure whether their car can operate on lower octane grades to consult their owners manual or manufacturer for advice.

Whilst we guarantee our fuels when used for their intended purpose, I am afraid we cannot offer to compensate any damage ensuing from their use in a vehicle for which they are not designed, and nor can we offer to either endorse or reimburse the use of other products not manufactured by BP. Our very strong advice to all motorists is to only use BP fuels in the form and for the purpose for which they are intended, and so it is essential that manufacturer's advice is taken on which fuel to use.

I am very sorry that we are currently unable to help you. BP Ultimate is our best product, and I can assure you that we are doing everything we can to renew and maintain supply. If you are able to visit www.bp.com.au/sms you can register for an SMS update when supply resumes.

Yours sincerely

BP Australia Limited

Yes well, hopefully this shortage will make people realise that bp ultimate is not some magic formula created by the gods, it is much the same as any other 98ron fuel.

i dont know why everyone buys ultimate.

hasnt there been tests and the conclusion was that caltex's 98 was better.
