Hi all.. Was running low on juice so went to BP to get my weekly hit.

And all the ones I went to along Paramatta Road were all out of stock. :)

Apparently there is no more/they are running out.

I spoke to servo dude (who is always helpfull, the one i sometimes goto), he said its about a 3week wait for more BP Ultimate :) He also said there is a shortage on 98 Octane petrol. WTF?

Dammit... Sux0rs...

Have to go fill up shell optimax.

You can get BP to sms you when they have stock.

Yes and apparently in WA they had a sortage too, how just only recently this week they said they have some stock now.

Wonder where it came from ?

Oh and this outage of Ultimate is for NSW & VIC, I reckon ACT too.

Lets all go for a cruise to WA to get some drums of Ultimate!

Optimax is shittymax. hehe

The first 2 tanks were sweet - but the thrid tank i got (all from the same servo) must have been a shit batch of fuel - my car was pinging - IT NEVER PINGS so im really hanging out for BP to come back on the market!!!!!

Doodz.. it's been like this for about the past 3 weeks.. emailed them the other day.. and called them..

they said restock is not until mid-late december..

guy on the phone said they were shipping it over from amsterdam..

not sure if that's true. - but yeah.. everywhere is out.. from hornsby to north sydney, to parra.. not sure about the south.. northern beaches too.. atleast that's where I tend to buy..

been filling up on shell optimax, finding I get better economy.. but bit down on power..

I know optimax and ultimate = 98 ron, but is it caltex or mobil that uses 95 RON high octane?

I know one of the servo brands don't have 98...

All the majors have 98RON brews now...

Shell Optimax

BP Ultimate Gold

Caltex Vortex 98 (the Vortex 95 is still around too)

Mobil Synergy 8000 (I think the 95Ron one is Synergy 5000, not too sure).

BP Ultimate has been unavailable for about 3 weeks now, as Links said. I've heardand read a few different reasons: there were problems at the refinery; there was a minor accident at the refinery; they are creating a new mixture and have in the mean time run out of the old stuff we all use now; they're not willing to sell it because petrol prices have dropped about 10-15cents - due to lower oil prices - in the past few weeks and they want to keep their profits high (they're absolute bastards if this is the real reason)...

Who knows? My Stagea is being run on anything at the moment, as long as it is a 98RON fuel. Currently has a tank of the 98 Caltex Vortex, which so far is nothing special.

There's no ultimate on the central coast either.

All the majors have 98RON brews now...

Shell Optimax

BP Ultimate Gold

Caltex Vortex 98 (the Vortex 95 is still around too)

Mobil Synergy 8000 (I think the 95Ron one is Synergy 5000, not too sure).

Yes all majors have 98RON premium, 95RON normal premium and 91RON ULP. Mobil's normal one is Synergy 6000, which is 96RON. Their ULP is 92RON, it seems they like to add an extra RON just to be different. :)

As if it bloody doesn't :(

What's so special about BP ultimate anyway?

I just use what ever premium im closest to, whether it be vortex, optimax, synergy 8000 or what ever

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!

      Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
