BP Ultra

[danno]

One of my local filing stations has recently started stocking 102 ron petrol (at the disturbing price of 242p per litre)

I'd like to ask people with a better technical knowledge than mine, if I run my Scooby (a WRX type UK) on this, will the engine management system release a new reservoir of power to me (having being restricted by the usual 97 ron rubbish it's used to) or would I be paying an extra 140p a litre for a marginal increase in performance?

Cheers

hello danno, you were up early?? the new fuel you have seen, will make a noticeable differance to your cars performance. ie better throttle responce,  give it a go. try not to mix it with to much of the normal unleaded, that is allready in your tank, try and run it low before you re fill, to get the best results.

242p a litre - hope they pour it out of a bottle to you for that sort of price - is it sold by the case?

242 a litre your having a laugh BP, much cheaper to put in some octane booster [Y]

At 242p a litre its just not worth it. Someone at BP must have been on something when theyt cane up with that [:S] As Granby said, octane booster is untold amounts cheaper [Y]

Better off popping down to Lydd Airport, they sell 142 octane fuel for the same price as normal unleaded! [Y]

That will really make your car go like stink and it wont break the bank! []

try tesco 99 (octane) its better and cheaper than optimax so ive been told

Deano - I wasn't up early, I was up late. The joys of drinking too much Red Bull on a night out []

Thanks for the advice all, I think I'll stay away from BP for the time being and maybe go the additive route. Or maybe the occasional trip down to Lydd []  [H]

There was a similar post i put up a while ago and after speaking to a couple of tuners about it you will have to be careful as this fuel is significantly different to standard Optimax or Ultimate and could cause detonation problems if not used on a properly mapped car...
