I put £10.00 of the new improved BP Ultimate in the car this morning
and i must say it seemed to make the car run very well.

I grabbed a copy of the leaflet about it and it say's,
"97 RON but typically higher", so does this mean it's now on par with
Optimax?

Anyway i don't have a Knocklink fitted at present but would like to know
if anyone else has used it and felt the bennefit, or if you have a Knocklink
fitted, is it showing much activity !

Rob

 

i thought opti was 98.6?

 

I use BP/ARAL Ultimate 100ron in my MY00 and my car seems to prefer it over the Shell V-Power 100 ron, no idea it is is better or not.

 

Not sure, the pumps read 98.

Rob

 

Anyone else ?

Rob

 

Yeah alright rub it in why don't you, you get 100 RON we get crappy 97/98 RON and pay more of the pleasure

 

I'll get to Sainsbury tomorrow...The manager told me their supplier for 97 RON is BP...funnily enough BP accept the Nectar card

 

Ain't life a bitch

 

My cars is mapped on optimax, at high revs 6.500 I see no more than the second green light , light up on my knock link, !
ulitmate at high revs I see the red show!
Tesco 99 ron I get the same readings as optimax.
all readings backed up with the apexi monitor, all noticed with the same weather conditions, on the same streach of road at the same time of day{ 7am on the way to work}! hope this helps ?
It has me!
ALSO all noticed in 3rd gear!

 

Oh and while on one, since
I took the dump valve of and started using tesco fuel I get an extra 50 miles a tank, hard driving! and save money on fuel,

 

Thank's

Rob

 

optimax 98.4 thats why it gets rounded down to 98
tesco 98.6 thats why it gets rounded up to 99

 

Tesco price is rounded down though

 

How do you account for that? Is it the fuel or no d/v?

 

Its the dump that I lost that has pushed mpg up, tescos is just 4p cheaper per litre than optimax around here!

 

How does losing the d/v gain mpg?

 

You tel me, not here to argue its just what ive noticed, since ive took the dv of,

my name is not pete so not here to bull!

 

Not trying to make an argument either, just interested in why or how

If my name was Pete, I think I'd change it to something else

 

tell you what ill put the vta back on and do another tank of tescos tomorrow if this will help, not taking the wee by the way, and ill let you no how I get on, maybe it is the fuel, Ill let you no.

 

If it stays the same without the vta and using tescos, then atleast ill save a remap!

 

[QUOTE=recopish]If it stays the same and gets no worse without the vta and using tescos, then atleast ill save a remap.-OTE]

 

I use Tesco's whenever I can and find it at least equal to Opti on the Knocklink. Ultimate is cr@p but a good way to test the k/l's working. Wouldn't bother trying the new Ultimate, if there is one as Tesco's is so much cheaper anyway.

 

Good to here. so you no where im coming from fuel wise!

 

So, would you say that Tesco's 97 RON is better than BP Ultimate?

Rob

 

99 ron.

 

No, 97 RON, or have you not tried that?

Rob

 

tesco dont sell 97 ron here where I live , they sell either unleaded 95 ron or 99 ron that replaces the old leaded replacement pumps, some stores sell 95 ron, 97 ron and 99ron. all depends where you go.!???
anymore?

 

Anyone else?

Rob

 

Oh and the new Ultimate that says, PLEASE TRY ME, on the pumps is exactly the same as the old one but has a new cleaning agent! no matter what it says on the tin!

 

That reminds me, iv'e got to get some more insect repellant
