BP Ultimate is only 97 RON and has a poor reputation on here when used in Imprezas. Just about all the respected mappers will tell you to stay clear of this fuel. Use only if you get caught short and use minimal boost.
V-Power or Tesco momentum seem the best choices.

I got caught out last year and had to put in £10 of Ultish*te just to get me to the nearest shell, I gave the old girl a quick squirt to see if I got any issues and my C*cklink lit up like a christmas tree!

Definately V-Power...I swear by its. Such a good quality fuel. Scoobies love it, anything else they start getting upset and won't be as fast.
I also found cold start issues with other fuels!

my uk classic struggled to 289bhp on a vf34, 440cc, sports catted exhaust etc when filled with Bp ultimate - I didnt really appreciate the importance of octane ratings etc until I joined scoobynet and heard advice from mappers. Bp is only 97 octane.
Shell v power or tescos 99 all the way.

carry octane boost everywhere you go, can get some in handy one dose/tank bottles adds approx 3 to octane level, i use on top of vpower if i know it's going to be an overtaking on A roads type of day, for safety sake not to mention more smiles per mile but it's also very useful if you run out of shell stations......pamper that bitch or she'll bite (your wallet) lol
