.... a nice "Light Blue" nozzle cover to fill up with - no less 
Worth the extra cost - no doubt!!!!
Took me about 5 mins to find the pump though
So got the BP Ultimate this lunch due to lack of Shell garages in North Notts
So far ive noticed:
Car started as normal
Still has 5 gears that work
You go quicker when you push the throttle down rather than pressing the brake - which still slows you down
Still 4 tyres and steering wheel
Still sounds like my car
Was it worth the extra 5p/litre over Optimax ?
..only time will tell

My local Shell garage charges 82.9p/litre for Optimax. Thought that was bad enuff. Plus side is it is less than a mile from home.

I ran a full tank yesterday, and couldnt wait to put real fuel in
Complete pile of cr@p in my opinion, far far worse than SUL or Optimax
My AFR readings were 2 notches leaner, and knock link lit up like an xmas tree, car is back to normal with Optimax in it now

Have to say - not noticed a problem with it.... but then i dont have any christmas lights in my car...
In fact - drives just like it did before - but maybe thats the low temperatures in the midlands at the mo

Strangely enough I took it to the dealer for a service at about 82,500 miles and the mechanic took it out for a road test and said it was one of the best engines he'd found at that mileage, he said it pulled really strongly and also said that there was quite a variation among Imprezas and some were nowhere near as quick. It was completely standard though, I appreciate the highly tuned ones need a few more octanes.
