BP Ultimate 98

[Kiwi XTR2]

There's apparently some kind of supply problem with the good-juice.

They're replacing it with 95 at a number of stations.

I know, sadly the motors have 95 in it at present. Wish they would hurry up!

Mobil 8000 is near the same stuff, don't let BP's marketing department con you, I bet its brewed at the same place by the same guy using the same stirring stick ? - but i could be wrong ?

Mobil 8000 is the same stuff.... BP just advertise more.... BP ultimate is still around, they're just having supply problems due to unscheduled maintenance at the refinery in oz and a greater-than-anticipated demand. They're just centralising their distribution of it for a while until their supply can meet demand.

Can you certified petrol heads-ie;people who know what happens under the bonnet- advise me on the worth or otherwise of the stuff they sell at supercheap that is supposed to give you more octane?

[Kiwi XTR2]

Most of it is rubbish, certainly at the price you pay.

There are very few cars that can effectively use more than a decent 98.

After that it's either import some 102 SuperGreen of start your own brew. A bit of Toluene or mDNT (meta-DiNitroToluene) does wonders.

As an alternative it's hard to beat some good water injection.

[wedgepilot]

Yup, a good splash of tolly will do wonders, as will properly set up WI...just don't run out of water!

This is a good site: www.waterinjection.info/

Hey Dunedins actually ahead of the rest for something! amazing!





......not that it matters to me, my old wagon drinks '91 anyway

[Mustang-man]

My Skyline uses (and runs better on) 98, and my brother has just started using 98 in his RX-7.

I tried both 91 and 96 when I first got the Legacy, and if anything it actually ran better on 91 (tuned for it perhaps) so I stuck with that. might try chucking some 98 in it at some stage just to see if I notice any difference now though.
