Title: BP Ultimate
Post by: PaulW on 25 November 2008, 10:41:50

Pile of shite...

Filled up with VPower last night, and the car felt Much more responsive, and more pokier throughout the rev range.  Also the bike runs better & starts much Much better on VPower compared to Ultimate (noticed that last time I filled it on VPower aswell)...

So I wondered why the car was down on power & felt like crap lately... All the promotional shite at the local BP garage made it out to be 99RON, but found out today that its actually 97RON...  I only went the BP garage as its more local to me (not a 6 mile trip each way)...

Ahwell back to Shell I go!

From other threads of this nature......it would seem that these types of fuel may have some effect in high performance cars and bikes.........but have no effect on more mundane transport.......except placebo effect. :y :y :y

V power works like a dream in my Mustang, if i put BP in it the thing pinks its bits off!

optimist60 - I wouldn't call my bike a 'performance' bike of any sorts  :D  but it does show the difference well enough!!

Actually averaged about 4mpg better running the Vpower last night too, which was a bloody site better!!!!
