Is BP SUL really 98RON
#1
The reason I ask is that I was led to believe that UK SUL only goes as high as 97 RON and after going to the local BP I noticed they are advertising their SUL as 98 RON.

BP may well be better than Sainsbury's, but CK1 definitely prefers Esso SUL to BP. Haven't got the foggiest why, as they're deffo all 97ron. Must be the different things they put in I spose.

And it's not just a case of them leaving the old labels on. The LFE MWSA had a re-vamp recently including new forcourts and pumps. These all now show 98RON for SUL. The old ones had 97RON..

Does the relevent BS code specify 97 RON or a MINIMUM of 97 RON?
Higher octane levels might be possible. Given that SUL is the base for LRP I very much doubt it though...

'Scuse my ignorance but what's LFE and MWSA???
My Scooby seems to like Shell SUL & Esso SUL equally above BP SUL which is above everything else .... Total SUL seems to be no better than NUL

Well James, according to a BP customer service guy when I called and asked that very question (without mentioning the europe bit) he said "Its because of new european legislation"
when I pointed out that SUL is 98 in most of europe, he came over all quiet and bashfull and promised to get back to me. 6 months later and no reply yet.

Would it be worth filling up ...Request a copy of the CCTV (AS REQUIRED BY LAW THEY MUST PROVIDE)Then ask them how much for the Petrol. How can they charge you for 98 ron legaly????

Guys Guys Guys....
This was done to death when we had the changeover and 4 star was withdrawn. SUL in this country DESPITE any labelling is 97 Ron Minimum. Some of it may be slightly more some of it may be slightly less. It will depend on the refinery and the type of delivery etc. 100 Ron can be purchased from some race circuits but at a premium.

KRIS,
you have lost me here! If UK 97 RON fuel is *minimum*, how can some be slightly less?
