i liked the caltex shit in my gtr.. but mostly put in bp as there usually have pumps free caus cheep c**ts are trying to save their 4c

which is what 124 bucks a year on a 60l tank a week..

but so many times accidently put in the 95.. tho this was when i had the gti-r

This has actually be covered before... The story is that BP Ultimate achieves its 98 Octane rating by refinement etc..

Other '98 Octane' fuels actually use additives to get a 98 Octane rating. This also means anything other than BP Ultimate will go off very fast because of all the additives, whereas Ultimate will last a lot longer.

For those of you that didn't know this, something to consider. I myself would NEVER put any other 98 in other than Ultimate unless I was like stranded and running on empty.

Well guys where I'm living Vortex is Caltex's Premium os it's only 96 octane and I have had dirty fuel twice from Optimax and therefore i'm running Ultimate never had any issues with it car runs perfect.

Well thats my 2 cents anyway

Many people believe that both fuels are manufactred from the same place. I dont believe this myself but both will prob contain same chemicals, addictives.

Is it worth say buying prem unleaded and puttin in a bottle of octane booster. i have heard of a few people doin this.

BP fuel is so expensive compared to the others. Is there a bp discount card or somethin.

Many people believe that both fuels are manufactred from the same place. I dont believe this myself but both will prob contain same chemicals, addictives.

My dad works for the BP refinery and yes he does say the fuel is manufactured in the same place.. maybe shell add those additives to if after or something i dont know. i still choose to use ultimate over optimax, maybe its just in my head lol.

The income in Canada... or were i live is about $64,000/ year. that is the yearly average for British Columbia.

Our minimum wage in Canada is $8.50/ hour..

But the gas that is $3+/L is our race fuel 103 the 110 is $5+/L.

I belive that the gas prices for our 94 Octane is sitting at $1.20/L right now. That is called "Super Premium" and we can only get it at 1 Gas Station. Cheveron.

I think that our dollar is Slighty stronger then the AUD. $1 Canadian is worth $1.20 AUD

Dee 33,

With all respect we know theres more to a fuel than the power figures it puts out..

And yes, BP handle all the fuels. But Ultimate is made to their own, I believe they won't sell it to any other companies, hence why everyone else uses additives to regular premium.

As Johhny said, Ultimate is Ultimate. :D

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
