Well, I picked up my Scoob on Friday...
Boy, did I have a fun weekend?!

Anyway, on Sunday, I noticed one of my local garage forecourts have started selling ULSP fuel. I take it this stands for something like Unleaded Super Premium or summat.

But, it just happens to be a Total garage...
And Ive heard Total fuel is ****!

Any opinions?

I think you'll find that it's Ultra Low Sulphur Petrol, and nothing to do with super unleaded or higher octane.

My local Total has replaced all of their premium unleaded (95 RON) with ULSP.

They still have two Super Unleaded pumps though.

As for the quality of Total fuel, I've been using their Super for about three years in Impreza Turbos, and for about 2 months now in my Evo 6. No problems so far.

It's 97RON - they just haven't replaced the stickers on the pumps

Hmmmm, therin lies the problem Andy!

Im in the Isle of Man, and we have NO Super Plus ANYWHERE as far as Im aware

All the garages only seem to do Unleaded, Lead Replacement or diesel...!

I have a choice of either Esso, Shell or Total. And thats it!

Cheers for the info/corrections chaps
