BP 102 Ron fuel

[ice maiden]

has anyone tried the BP102 yet? only availiable on trial at a few garages atm, and none local to me so just wondered if anyone else had tried it, and knew what it cost?

read lots of good reviews about it

I was caught short today and had to stop at a BP garage for petrol and i was absoloutly shocked at the price of normal BP ultimate (97)

Normal unleaded 94.9p litre
BP ultimate 108.9p a litre

I mean 14p fu*kin difference

Needless to say i only put in a tenner and went to fill the rest up with optimax at 98.9p a litre

God knows how much this new stuff is going to cost but a 14p increase over standard 95 is bloody ridiculous

Its over £2 a litre!

 

[Mitchy]

Just read its £2.42 per litre meaning it would cost about £135 to fill the car.

You'd have to be off your head

but read about the power gains, surely it would have to be worth doing at least once!!!!!

id sooner install NOS.. more gain for same thrill.. and cheaper

 

[gazjones]

maybe put 20 quid in and find out shgould be very responsive

 

[claudefrog]

£20 would get you about 2 gallons.. and when driving hard your likely to get 25 - 30 miles... not worth it IMO

 

[ice maiden]

be good for use at the pod though.....

with Nos there is the installation costs to take into account, and surely thats added stress to the engine as well?

Shame it takes your ecu about 4 full tanks to adapt to a whooping 102 ron, now thats going to cost some bucks.

wonder if they would notice the difference on the fuel card lol

you all might want to read this months performance ford as they test it on the Focus ST.

Basically if you pull up in your LCR and whack it in, you will se feck all difference, it needs to mapped to take advantage of the higher octane.

They do it in Maidstone, i saw it the other night.

Personally if you wanna do it just buy a bottle of octane booster

 

[mALLA]

i dont know anyone who would be justified in paying 135 quid to fill up there car unless they are outta morons. who in the right mind is gonna pay that. ur better off getting some octane boosters with optimax!!

I seriously doubt 102 octane fuel would really make a cost efficent/justified performance difference.

bah to BP

Is anyone else thinking tankers are going to have to have police escorts soon?
