buford_t_justice Posted September 12, 2004 Report Posted September 12, 2004 Does anybody here use BP Ultimate or Shell Diesel Extra and notice anything better/different than your bog-standard Tesco stuff? I tend to be sceptical of these "premium" fuels as I tried Shell Optimax in my last car and noticed nothing different apart from the extra 7/8p litre !! Quote
iainkirk Posted September 12, 2004 Report Posted September 12, 2004 IMHO: Shell diesel Extra: No different to the rest. BP Ultimate: Seems to result in smoother running and more mpg, but I haven't worked it out for sure as I have a fuel card. :D (and I only pay tax on the ACTUAL private mileage-fuel, as it's my Galaxy and not my employer's :D Quote
Guest OXO2 PUB Posted September 13, 2004 Report Posted September 13, 2004 not noticed any real power gain from Shell Diesel extra but the helping of Millers Diesel power plus certainly gives a bit of extra bite. Cant use the BP Ultimate due to the nearest stocking garage being about 20 mile away :rolleyes: Quote
MrT Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 Similar with unleaded and the super-unleaded petrol that I am meant to use. Not sure if there is any difference in usage, but BP Ultimate, Shell Optimax charge a lot more whilst Sainsburys is only 1p a litre more than standard. Quote
