New Improved BP Ultimate
I put £10.00 of the new improved BP Ultimate in the car this morning
and i must say it seemed to make the car run very well.
I grabbed a copy of the leaflet about it and it say's,
"97 RON but typically higher", so does this mean it's now on par with
Optimax?
Anyway i don't have a Knocklink fitted at present but would like to know
if anyone else has used it and felt the bennefit, or if you have a Knocklink
fitted, is it showing much activity !

I use Tesco's whenever I can and find it at least equal to Opti on the Knocklink. Ultimate is cr@p but a good way to test the k/l's working. Wouldn't bother trying the new Ultimate, if there is one as Tesco's is so much cheaper anyway.
