BP Ultimate Diesel

[JD LWB]

Hi

Is anyone using the BP Ultimate Diesel (or other similar diesel)?

Have you noticed any real diference (other than the price)?

I'm just wondering whether it's worth the extra 5p per liter extra.

I've occasionally flirted with "ultimate" fuels on the company fuel card, and I've never noticed any difference at all.  That's not to say there isn't one, but it's not perceptible in the vehicles I use, when only using the fuel from time to time.

Still using standard diesel, but I noticed they slipped another price rise in the other week, sneaky sods.

I don't think that the government will be happy until diesel is £1.00 per litre.

Well I'd have to say there is a difference.  I've been running the Disco on Esso diesel for the last 4 tankfulls now and I can tell that performance is up a little, economy is better in that it goes further than normal on about the same amount of fuel (can't be exact as I don't measure it) and the motor "seems" smoother.

FWIW.

Well, to be fair, fuel prices have recently not been rising as quickly as global oil prices, so I don't think you can really blame this one on the government, much as I hate the lying, power-crazed scumbags.

i've tried bp ultimate in my 200 tdi defender.the results are really quite good less smoke ,a lot less noise and better performance.you really notice the difference when you go back to normal diesel.after a trip to tesco's it feels like somethings wrong with the motor.

I've not tried ultimate but mine definetly runs better on shell or BP than the supermarket fuel.

[philbert]

dont know about the esso fuel but the bp stuff has a higher cetane rating which helps.

Thanks Philbert

I've tried it for the last week and a half and thought it felt better, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't wishful thinking on my part.

(I'm running a 1990 110 with a 200tdi engine).

think that that will come after the election. Wont be before as will be big vote losser but think will hit £1 litre minimum priety soon

Isnt it about time we all started complaining about the fuel price Im not suggesting a protest or anything but its getting out of hand. shouldnt we stand up for out rights as road users and make a stand over the over inflateted price that we have to pay!!!!!

over inflateted price that we have to pay!!!!!

Give that poor Mr Blair a chance will ya!!  We have to pay for his war in Iraq somehow.

[philbert]

exactly leave mr bliar and his cronies alone they are not greedy.They only take 75% of the cost of a litre in tax.it's the couple of pence the retailers stick on that is killing us    

[philbert]

should maybe start another topic about using "alternative fuel"

its all well and good to have the protest but look what happened last time when the goverment basicly went in to overdrive on smear campaign against the main guy.
You can bet that most of the headlines you saw in the papers where some how orientated by stories coming from goverment departments rather than by the newspapers doing the work themselves.
It may sound like paranoid statement or conspiracy theroy but I think its priety safe to say the papers didnt come up with all the c**p they printed on there own
just think if this was somewhere like france and they put a price rise on diesel what would hapen
blocking of ports
protests in the streets etc
where as al we seem to do is write to our MP who then goes on holiday for 6 months on a "fact finding" tour of the caribean with his personal secetary and the large selection of adult products that no doubt they will be seen with in every paper for the next 3 months

sorry but needed to have a little rant on that subject

[hrh_dave]

I totally agree with what your saying there but the problem last time was the they didnt get the backing of the whole country, the problem with the people over here is that they sit back and think it will get betting in a week or two or somebody else with protest for me.

Maybe it wasn't a very good cause?

Eh i think it was,
whats more shocking is the fact that fuel prices at the mo are HIGHER than when the fuel protests happened a few years ago,id be up for it again cos its shocking the price of fuel as every1 just pays up & doesnt bother there backside,god at the mo the motorist is gettin riden from all angles in regard to the costs now,if its no insurance companys that have our trousers down its the government helping them with the cost of fuel,if its not that they do it again with the road tax,up here you need a 4x4 cos the roads are so knackered & all the ££££ is going into some1 elses pockets & not where it belongs

[Guy90]

Nope! Still isn't a good cause. Those running last time sold the public a lie and its still true today.
