Bp Ultimate Prices

[Primordial]

From memory every time I've bought BP Ultimate, it's been exactly 10c dearer than regular unleaded. I visited a petrol station tonight that was charging 15c more for Ultimate than regular!

Has anyone else noticed if there is a consistent difference in price between regular and ultimate?

[kralster]

Yeah thats rooted,

95 RON is supposed to be 7 cents more per litre and 98 RON is supposed to be 10 cents per litre more. So shop around i guess.

BP has premium, and then they have ultimate..where as shell for example has unleaded, unleaded 95, and optimax

optimax is always 10c more than regular unleaded, with 95 about 6-7cents more...

BP ultimate has always been about 13c more than BP's regular from memory.

hmm interesting.. my memory isnt known for being great, but i could swear every time I see the price of ultimate, it's only 10c dearer.. oh well its only a couple of bucks per fill at the end of the day! Kinda annoying though that some servo's are charging more for the sake of profit

[LuvDR]

Spose it depends where you are but in WA ultimate has only been 10c difference for about six months or so and some are still 9c difference. Started at 7c i believe.

[**JaR**]

he. i won like... 2 BP fuel comps, so 2 cards with $100 each of free fuel on em. winnah. to bad thats only like 2 tanks these days

[Primordial]

bastard... I get about 20 of those things every time I fill up and I've only won 2 x "BP Drive" CD's - whatever the f*ck that is!? lol.. i'll take the FPV thanks...

bahh JaR sif win! I never win those scratchies. Most the time the dudes are stingy and dont give me one and I cbf'ed to ask for one.

Yea my local BP is ~10c more, some places are ~12c more, just depents on the location I guess.

There was this one time last week, this BP had normal Unleaded for 129.9 (This was when everywhere was 139.9) and the Ultimate price was ~15c more. ie. 144.9. Which negated the saving.

Ah well If you can afford to drive a Turbo car you can afford petrol.

[Primordial]

Yeah thats exactly what this servo was like today. 129.9 and 144.9... I guess its just luck of the draw..

As I say to anyone who asks "Why would you drive that car if it uses so much petrol!?"

The answer: "You wouldnt understand unless you drove it, and the answer is NO, you can't drive it!!"

[ossie_21]

I'm in WA, every time I've filled up it's been 9c more than regular unleaded. No other option than BP

[scathing]

It depends on where you go.

Generally if I go into a BP and Ultimate is more than 10c more than regular I'll drive straight back out.

[dezz]

what scratchies is everyone talkin about?! ive never been given 1!

the local BP that I have to go to is not only out of my way, but its a shit hole. what kind of petrol station closes at 6pm? and all the ultimate pumps are fked, they click like its full every few seconds!

[Primordial]

When you fill up more than $20 of ultimate, they're supposed to give you a scratchie on which you can win an FPV Falcon or free fuel or some gay CD (which I now have two copies of) or some other stuff i think.. .I dont think the comp will be on much longer tho... its been going a while!

[Ska]

Yeah same here in Central QLD, ultamite/optimax is always 12-12c dearer, and it's not the stations that govern the price, it's the wholesalers, I used to work at servos, and got the call from head office telling me to change the price 3 times in one 8hour period OVERNIGHT in brissie..........

[dezz]

hmmm so if u put more than 2 litres in you get a scratchie:P

I usually fill up 3/4 of a tank, so definitely over $20. never gotten a scratchie!

hopefully this new servo they're building near me is a BP!

hmmm so if u put more than 2 litres in you get a scratchie:P

hehehhehe, good one!

[phunky_monkey]

Always 10c extra for me, you're getting screwed man...

I got one on Sunday.

The other grand prize is a trip to Europe to sample some of the supercars, and visit the Paris Motor Show.

You can keep your Ford. I'll take the trip to Europe and hopefully get a drive of a Lambo / Fazza etc.

[lordsnipe]

i'll take the ford .. sell it and free mod money!

[scathing]

I'll find out what supercars you get to sample, if I were to win, before I decide.

I can always make a little money to pay for mods. Making lots of money to pay for a drive of a Zonda, on the other hand..........

Its not like Hertz will have one for rental.
