BP Ultimate for me - they seem to have a monopoly on all my local garages

Used optimax ever since I bought it - but as I had a knock link fitted last weekend I feel happier to try other stuff now......

Optimax ever since I've had the Knocklink (the same time Optimax became available) - Import Scooby though. Use to run 95 + octane boost all the time - NOT anymore.

I'm not one for having it mapped for 95 RON

So right now over 70% of all Scoob owners use it - must say I did not expect it to be that high.

We should get a discount from shell lol.

Thanks Wurzel - that makes us all feel MUCH better about putting rubbish in our tank at an overinflated price

First fillup for new car was BP SUL as it was the closest garage to the dealership. Since then have filled up with Optimax as the car runs so much better on that stuff.
Used Optimax in my old car also. Any variant just didn't get close for performance.

Use Optimax a majority of the time - ocassionally using Esso SUL. If I use BP Ulitimate there is much more activity on Knocklink so avoid this now
