It depends if your car has been mapped to run on Optimax? If it is standard and not mapped to a specific octane fuel (or an import), BP SUL will be fine - although it may not run as smoothly for a couple of tanks and TBH, you may find it less responsive.
Other than that, you should be fine.

Evo magazine also stated that Subaru's seem to prefer Optimax to ultimate, although they did not assert what they based that on.

Personally (and I've done alot of research into this), Optimax is one of the worst fuels for economy and with no performance benefits. However Esso is good and so is Texaco Super.
