101 ron BP milton keynes

[DOLBY]

hey,
my friend just told me this morning about a petrol station in milton that sells 101 ron petrol at £2.50 a litre.

apparantly his mate put £20 in his and he had a remapped focus ST and his opinions on it were that it 'absolutely flys' now...

i really dont know what (if any) damage this can do to the engine, im sure if you put a tank in every once in a while it wouldnt do no harm (except for your wallet lol)...
every single week and im sure the engine will pack up.... as we have the learning ECU maybe it will need a few tanks to get the real best from it?


just interested in anyones views, experiences or knowledge on this subject...

Why damage?
The higher the octane, the less knock you'll get.

£2.50 a litre! fook that! hope it lasts twice as long as 99ron

 

[h17och]

its been in mk for years mate. ive spent hundreds of £££s on that stuff.

smells like cerocine

 

[Mat]

does it also give better economy.

i was trying normal 95 ron for a couple of weeks, gone back to 99 and a swear it runs more efficient. lasted at least an extra day to work and back, and been on boost more

 

[h17och]

more economy at £2.50 a litre....i think not no.

its 102 ron anyway not 101

I think it's the station off the A422 near Newport Pagnell - Aston Martin often fill up there for testing

 

[h17och]

there is one in newport and also one in mk

 

[DOLBY]

thanks peeps,
yeh i realise it has been there a while, but i was just wondering about problems with the engine i.e will the fuel cause the engine to boost more which may in turn cause overboosting or m i worrying over nothing?

was going to put a tank in every 2 months or so to clear all the cobwebbs (so to speak!!)

Its cheapper to run a octane boosted that with V Power gives you 103 ron

 

[DOLBY]

been in both of the garages that do this and i couldnt find it.....

 

[h17och]

its normally on one end. its a totally different pump.

you need to go in first and optain a password (normally '102') then when you pick up the nozzle an alarm will sound then you type in your password. then you can fill up. bit of a mission

personally i really wouldnt bother tho mate

 

[DOLBY]

i asked them where the 102 stuff was and they looked at me like i had 3 heads hahaha......why shouldnt i bother?...too expensive for the gains?

This Fuel is called BP Ultimate 102, it is blended and produced at the Coryton Refinery and only delivered to Key sites around the country, which BP deam to be high profile sites or areas. The site in newport pagnell was the first site to start retailing this fuel i believe, then it was distributed elsehwhere after the test period. Its been around for a couple of years now, and i thought it would never last when BP started selling it, show how wrong we at BP Coryton were, hahaha. There must be some rich people out there to afford 2.50ltr.
Oh yeah, and BP have now started doing biofuel, so watch out for that aswell.

Brett, interestng reading here:

Make sure you get a fresh tank if you're going to try it - I'd guess that as few people buy it the fuel isn't going to be very fresh so probably the reason for the variable results

 

[DOLBY]

thanks mate....really interesting
so i dont think i will use this stuff now...except for RR days...lol.....may try the tesco for a change now....(i have run V-power for 22000 miles!)

 

[Riko]

Im guna have to have a look for this as i live in newport and hadn't a clue! I've fed the car on Vpower since owning it for the last few months. How long does it take for the ECU to 'learn' or adapt if you were to change petrol types/makes?

 

[DOLBY]

a couple of tanks mate

 

[Damoegan]

a couple of tanks mate

Exactly mste. So the odd tank here and there wont realy make any difference. V-Power all the way
