Anyone tried premium/performance fuel?

Preferred the cleaning claims by BP meself- but each to their own.

You are an advertisers dream

Had a good chat with BP guys at Goodwood Motor show last year, and what they said made sense
Think its illegal to say stuff that incorrect isn't it?

The media industry?

The media industry?

Do they take any notice of any laws- bungs to coppers, outright lies, court libel actions
That's why they called the gutter press

TV get caught out to

BP Ultimate has been around that long, that if the claims were incorrect theyd be found by now (IMO obvs)

As you said, he's an advertisers dream SfG !

Looking at it from another angle, they intentionally mislead, they over-emphasis the benefits and omit the drawbacks.

[Chris_Blue]

Used BP Ultimate in my 150 for around 22,000 miles from new, and it never went back to the dealers till it was part exed
That's good enough for me

[lfcrule1972]

Agreed, it's how all these places work, keep the claims going until someone pursues them or pays to show they aren't true

IMO-Abbreviation for "In My Opinion." Use if you want to a) weaken your argument significantly, or b) make it known that this is not your neighbor's opinon or you doctor's opinion, it is yours.

IMO-Stands for "In My Opinon". The most insecure way to state your opinion. Used by those afraid to get into a big argument with someone who disagrees with them.

IMO-An internet phrase used to safeguard statements from insecure people who will find any way possible to personally attack you while drawing an argument out of nothing, and act as if your opinion were fact, simply to boost their self-esteem that they lack in real life.

LOLOLO Yawn.

true but results in the lab dont necessarily translate to results on the road or id be getting the claimed 70mpg lol. not to mention testing bias.

tried with various fuels and cars generally speaking cars "feel" smoother (though not the ds3 ot at least its less noticeable than on other cars)

found tesco 99 worse than sainsburys std in my st170 the car just ran badly almost felt like it was all but misfiring. same car felt better on shell or bp high octame

with the ds3 ehdi i find its no better performance wise and seems to get less mpg still use it on long runs like when i went to knockhill from leeds and back in a day for btcc lol and still did a week of work or so before topping up lol

but im also old enough to remember what shell advance did to cars years ago (killed engines)

worst fuel ive used in any car is morrisons no car ive ever used it on has been happy

Just to be a bit of a pedantic git... The claimed MPG cycle the EU mandates is not designed to demonstrate the actual on road efficiency of a car. It is designed to give a standardised, repeatable test that every car must go through. This provides a comparison between all models that run the test so that the consumer can compare the efficiency of one car to another.
Obviously the problem with it is that manufacturers just gear their cars to the test but hey that's another story!

To get back OT I always use premium fuel in the DS3, it's not that much more per tank and the added piece of mind that it gives me that my engine won't eat itself quite as fast is always nice :P

Chris, I've developed with my own fuel - 'ZackAttack'.

The 'Attack' part is from your car behaving like a wild animal from all the extra power my fuel gives. It's been proven to increase raw horsepower ( this is the more important type of horsepower ) by up to 70% and increase your rotary torque ( created from your DS3's rotary output ) by up to 40%. These gains been officially certified by the RSFPLAANF ( Royal Society For the Prevention of Lying About Awesome New Fuels ).

Not only does it give you these awesome gains but it cleans your engine, the environment and gives amazing MPG ! It uses a new nano-technology called 'Sticky-Chemistry' where your engine sucks in the pollution from the air via your intake, sticks all the harmful chemicals to your pistons and by way of combustion evaporates them just shooting out oxygen from your tailpipe.

Hoping to get it in Motorway petrol stations by May 2014 but you can buy it direct from me at the moment at just 1.20 /L.
