My local shell hasnt had any in since Hemel Hampstead fire... they reckon there isnt any across the country...

im fed up of using BP Ultimate

can you still get it?

im in grantham, lincs...

dre

 

yes got optimax all over enfield filled up yesterday Ł30 worth

 

non in maldon on saturday

 

Use Tescos 99......

There's no flake in it though......

 

Yeah in Sidcup there is some. I put it in the Fez

 

did you not read the review in pf mag ultimate is better the 99 with no flake

 

plenty of optimax here in west yorkshire

 

Despite having 99RON, test in Performance ford shows it aint that great!

 

But it costs more and has a lower octane rating - I havent read the review though - whats better about ultimate?

Tescos 99 Oct makes more of a difference in my car than BP Ultimate

 

optimax
ultimate
99 no flake
regular super

 

Is that the order in which they found was best?

 

yes , the 99 ron tesco crap was no better than the BP ultimate,which i think is 97.

plenty of optimax in Brum

 

Plenty of Optimax round this way

 

How did PF test the different fuels?

 

What about Esso Supreme, I thought that was supposed to be the most "reliable" super?

 

Loads up here......

 

As said above, loads of optimax in west yorks. My car actually feels much better on ultimate than optimax.

 

they had tommy from field motorsport test a engine on his engine dyno to see how much ignition advance they could use before it detted i think he got
15+ bhp more with optimax somethinh like +6 more advance than the rest

 

none in hartlepool

 

I do not have the magazine in front of me but

Regular gas was approx 1* advance then detting
Tesco 99 3* advance then detting it's tits of
Ultimate 97* 10* advance the detting
Optimax 13* advance then detting

There was if i recall abouyt a 35/40bhp difference across the range as well from i think 410bhp to 450bhp was alot but dont quote me on the above figures


Mike

 

Mike, I think the base was 13 degrees, and then ignition added up to a max of +3 degrees before det' was found (Optimax = 16degrees of igniton advance).

 

Ł35 yesterday in me s2

 

Bill your probably right that was just of the top of my head

Mike
