SimonB Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Basically on a normal hatch it made no difference. On a Scooby BP ultimate produced more power and torque, and Optimax slightly more power than BP and a chunk more torque. Can't remember the figures now, but it was a reasonable improvement.

stav Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 dam, i havent got a tv near me at the mo, but from something i read a while back, apprently optimax has additives in it that only keep it at 98RON for a small amount of time?? dunno how true this is, but when i had my integra everyone on the form was raving about it, so for a few good months i used it and noticed cock all difference! lol heard that bp ultimate is better as it stays at 97RON whereas optimax will eventually fall to about 96RON?? discuss! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I wouldn't worry about how long it stays at 98 when you drive a Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Just realised that thanks to the power of Sky+ I can rewind and find out the figures! For the Scooby it was optimax 249bhp bp ultimate 248bhp supermarket UL 235bhp Torque was: optimax 258ft/lbs bp ultimate 248ft/lbs supermarket UL 232ft/lbs.

Pig Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 what a shame no 99 ron. would have been great if they had tested a soop with all of them. why mention them and not test em grrrr I would have leant them mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 hi laz , just speaking as i find , ive tried optimax and cant see any difference . sainsburys ul seems to suit my supe Thats fair enough I suppose, we each base our beliefs on our own experiences. Although I will have to say I noticed a difference in mine between normal UL and Super (be it Shell, BP, or Tesco), It seems a bit more eager and I found it would "Pink" a bit at high rpm on Normal.

RedM Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 There is a big one with a garage in Batley, I do my shopping there sometimes but generally suffer rage issues and have to leave Batley! Fill up with 99 and then have your car nicked. I'll stick with Optimax rather than riska trip to Batley. As for shopping rage, ASDA does it for me especially the Wakefield one. I seriously feel some primal urge to kill. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
