I too popped into a BP station after reading the threads on here.

It was when I neared the 30 plus litres that I saw the 83p a litre sign - nearly dropped the nozzle!

Not felt any difference than the SUL i usually use. I'll save me a couple of quid per tank in future and stick with common SUL!!!

Thumbs down

The reason you won't notice any difference is because its 97 RON, i.e. same as SUL.

BP say:
"Unlike previous generations of "premium" fuels, these benefits are related to much more than just increased octane number."

Whatever that may be.

One good thing out of all this I've found, is that my local Shell station has dropped its price of Optimax!

I'm happy, so thank you BP for causing a price war!

Long may it continue.

PS: I'm defo sticking to Optimax.

LOL, those cheeky Marketing chaps eh.
Put a new suit on an old product and wheel it backout!

Now if they had gone for 99/100 RON, they might have captured a nice niche market.
