Fuel Poll

Haven't seen one here before so thought I'd ask!

I'll be 98ing mine for life - Brand negotiable...

Kris · 01-12-2009, 08:28 PM

same fuel, every tank, bp 98

Zuzu · 01-12-2009, 08:35 PM

Either BP 98 or Shell..

takahashi · 01-12-2009, 08:49 PM

BP Ultimate for any car, even my Kluger runs better with it. So the 135i will only see BP.

BP Ultimate as well. My car loves the stuff.....

BMWDave · 01-12-2009, 10:28 PM

Same as everyone else above. My baby loves her BP Ultimate 98

Timbo · 01-12-2009, 10:38 PM

I mainly use Caltex 98 - corp fuel card

Breville · 01-12-2009, 11:01 PM

Caltex 98 as I'm a lazy bastard and it's near me

Guran · 01-12-2009, 11:04 PM

I've been using Shell V-Power in my MINI since 2002 (when it was known as Optimax), and have continued the practice with the 135i. Second preference is Vortex 98. I'll go with Ultimate if I can find it, but there doesn't seem to be much of it around where I live. But only ever 98 RON.

BTW, if you plan on doing some country touring in your 1er, it's a good idea to take along a couple bottles of octane booster. It can be impossible to find 98 RON once you're off the beaten track.

Tj303 · 01-12-2009, 11:14 PM

I would love to use BP ultimate all the time, but unfortunately BP's are hard to come by around the areas i travel... There are heaps more Shell's around so i tend to use V-Power most of the time. If not, then Mobil 8000(?). Always 98 octane.

airhead · 01-12-2009, 11:46 PM

Whatever is closest, it's all the same stuff

BMW86 · 01-13-2009, 12:50 AM

I didn't realise BP Ultimate 98 was the most popular fuel for our 1ers.

I've been filling up using Shell V-Power 98... I thought Shell was the best? No?

takahashi · 01-13-2009, 03:21 AM

Well I have been told BP in Melbourne aren't the same as BP in interstate. In Adeliade, Shell V Power is definitely better than BP... dunno why.

SimonB · 01-13-2009, 03:22 AM

Gee, I'd use BP all the time too, but they don't do shopper dockets <duck>, so it's Caltex / Woolies for me most of the time.

amk2912 · 01-13-2009, 03:55 AM

BP Ultimate 98 all the time. Sorry Simon but I would'nt put that WOW/CML stuff in my car.

cam2801 · 01-13-2009, 04:43 AM

We do Shell V-Power... cause it is one the corporate card... best fuel there is.. the one someone else is paying for

amk2912, 2 questions... WOW/CML? (Woolworths something and Caltex something, I guess) and why?

BMWDave · 01-13-2009, 08:14 AM

Simon - WOW = Woolworths, CML = ColesMyer

CML should be WES (Wesfarmers)

Dave · 01-13-2009, 04:47 PM

i like to hang out in aussie land...
i chose speeding tickets
cuz i got pulled over twice the same day over winter holiday...but no ticket!

All we get here is 93 8 (

Breville · 01-13-2009, 06:29 PM

I've filled up with BP & Shell in the past and can never tell the difference; can anyone? Having said that, I also have no real problem with the RFT's, so maybe I am devoid of senses!!
