What scoob is it?

Short answer is V-Power (99RON vs 97 RON for BP ultimate, unless you live near somewhere that is doing 102RON).

Definitely V-Power, then. You might also want to look into running with an octane booster, although not absolutely necessary. Again, unless you can find BP102 Ron

You've not mentioned that BP 102RON is £2.60 per litre.
