Thumbs up

It's from BP and it's called BP Ultimate. Octane rating 100RON. No more octane boosters for me.

I believe the rest of Europe will be getting it in the next few months. From what I read, Greece was the first country in Europe to receive the new fuel due to the Olympic Games.

Cheers,

George.

Hi WREXY
I think that shell's 99+ Racing is better.
I have a friend in BP company and he said that the 100 ron is made here in greece. The 99+ is coming from france with tankers and is stored in keratsini.

Theo,

LOL



Skydiver,

I don't think France has Shell 99+. I've read on here that people visiting France find it hard to locate Optimax 98RON.

Have you tried the new 100RON BP fuel and found the Shell 99+ better then?



Trev,

Drive through Europe down to Italy. Go to the port of Ancona in North East Italy. Catch a ferry across to Greece and get off at the port of Patra. Drive to Athens, (Pireaus port) (3hr drive). At Pireaus catch a ferry to Kos or Kalimnos. The Islands are next to each other so you'll be able to catch a ferry from one to the other. Both great Islands with Kos being more the party animal of the two.

Oh make sure you come to Nafplion where I am so we can take both scoobs for a cruise along with Beastie and more scoob owners from here. It's a 2 hour drive from Patra, situated south of Korinth in the Peloponese.

Cheers,

George.

The 99+ is not sold in France. BPs 100 is the 98ron fuel with a new type of octane plus formula. I have used the two types of fuel but i think with shell my car had better response.
