BP ultimate 102
« on: 01 March 2009, 12:06 »
anyone used the bp ultimate 102, it cost me £2.60 a litre and had to put in a code at the pump to fill up with it, £50 for 19 litres and it made know difference at all, its supposed to be high octane track fuel, but load of bollocks if you ask me, i know my car aint a ferrari but thoght i might get something good for a small fortune. lol

what were you expecting it to do?? add an extra 10bhp or make you go faster?? high octane means it burns easier leading to better mpg!

didnt seem like i got better mpg, even if it did it wouldnt be enough to make up for the extra £1.60, dont know what was going through my head, must be alot better on your engine, make it run better or something ?

High octane means its less likely to detonate under high heat/pressure - so only the spark ignites it.



If you had a seriously high compression engine - then I'd expect to see a difference, otherwise, I wouldn't expect it to do much.

It would take about 3-4 tank fulls for your ECU to adapt to it properly, but then you're not going to run it indefinitely though, are you?!

Stick to Tesco/Shell 99 RON - Will be more than good enough for a road car.

I can't see the point of the 102 RON outside of motorsport, myself.

Or unless you're running a 700 bhp monster, lol!! :D

Nope, V-Power is 99 (It's predecessor Optimax, was 98).........................  Normal BP Ultimate is/was always 97. ;)
