Hi all.. Was running low on juice so went to BP to get my weekly hit.

And all the ones I went to along Paramatta Road were all out of stock. :)

Apparently there is no more/they are running out.

I spoke to servo dude (who is always helpfull, the one i sometimes goto), he said its about a 3week wait for more BP Ultimate :) He also said there is a shortage on 98 Octane petrol. WTF?

Dammit... Sux0rs...

Have to go fill up shell optimax.

You can get BP to sms you when they have stock.

Yes and apparently in WA they had a sortage too, how just only recently this week they said they have some stock now.

Wonder where it came from ?

Oh and this outage of Ultimate is for NSW & VIC, I reckon ACT too.

Lets all go for a cruise to WA to get some drums of Ultimate!

Optimax is shittymax. hehe

i been using Mobil 8000 - i can say that its not too bad.........

The first 2 tanks were sweet - but the thrid tank i got (all from the same servo) must have been a shit batch of fuel - my car was pinging - IT NEVER PINGS so im really hanging out for BP to come back on the market!!!!!

Doodz.. it's been like this for about the past 3 weeks.. emailed them the other day.. and called them..

they said restock is not until mid-late december..

guy on the phone said they were shipping it over from amsterdam..

not sure if that's true. - but yeah.. everywhere is out.. from hornsby to north sydney, to parra.. not sure about the south.. northern beaches too.. atleast that's where I tend to buy..

been filling up on shell optimax, finding I get better economy.. but bit down on power..

I know optimax and ultimate = 98 ron, but is it caltex or mobil that uses 95 RON high octane?

I know one of the servo brands don't have 98...

All the majors have 98RON brews now...

Shell Optimax

BP Ultimate Gold

Caltex Vortex 98 (the Vortex 95 is still around too)

Mobil Synergy 8000 (I think the 95Ron one is Synergy 5000, not too sure).

BP Ultimate has been unavailable for about 3 weeks now, as Links said. I've heardand read a few different reasons: there were problems at the refinery; there was a minor accident at the refinery; they are creating a new mixture and have in the mean time run out of the old stuff we all use now; they're not willing to sell it because petrol prices have dropped about 10-15cents - due to lower oil prices - in the past few weeks and they want to keep their profits high (they're absolute bastards if this is the real reason)...

Who knows? My Stagea is being run on anything at the moment, as long as it is a 98RON fuel. Currently has a tank of the 98 Caltex Vortex, which so far is nothing special.

There's no ultimate on the central coast either.

Caltex Vortex 98 (the Vortex 95 is still around too)

Mobil Synergy 8000 (I think the 95Ron one is Synergy 5000, not too sure).

Yes all majors have 98RON premium, 95RON normal premium and 91RON ULP. Mobil's normal one is Synergy 6000, which is 96RON. Their ULP is 92RON, it seems they like to add an extra RON just to be different. :)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
