Default BP Ultimate?

in view of the Shell thread on OT....wondered what people thought of BP Ultimate?

Can anyone honestly really tell the difference between Ultimate and Optimax?

Funny you ask, I tend to throw in a tank of something else every now and then. My car loves opti., but not Ultimate. So to answer your question yes I can, but it probably is pyschological!?

Gotcha!

Nice one, Ian. I was sure Zero had posted about using it in the past.

Bored, Zero? Do you just post for the sake of it sometimes.....?

I got stuck low on fuel with only one petrol station nearby the other week, and had to fill up with standard unleaded, there was a very noticable difference, again in the past I have tried Ultimate but still feel that Optimax is the best, and it is noticable, although this may be pyschological as Gazzer said!!

Never notice the difference on anything I put in. Even half a tank of diesel wasn't too bad apart from the smoke.
