Hmmm. Interesting. I use BP Ultimate strictly for my fussy 100RON JDM ECU, without any pinging, loss of power or any issues.

Any key locations that have been identified?

Yeah well i use BP Ultimate religiously and i have had experiences of weird things happening on different tanks...
It mite help explain why i have gotten such random distances out of different tanks as well...
Or like you said it may be a 'today tonight' load of rubbish that they will apologize for covering in the next show.
But they did speak to a guy who seemed to work for BP and he wasn't really able to explain it but he did say that an internal investigation is going on...

Here is a chance for all you guys that have pinged your engines to death to blame the big nasty petrol company.

the servos are on and around the pacific highway up north (gosford, cessnock etc)[/color]

Okay then, so nothing really to worry about for me...

This guy runs his stations around Ballina, Lismore Byron Bay Area.
I know the family, but can't really vouch whether this was a genuine mistake or not.

He was done for putting ordinary Premium Fuel in the Ultimate Bowsers, which means you would have beeen running 95% as opposed to 98%.
Probably not going to be a huge issue, but you still didn't receive what you paid for and that is the issue.

They also tested BP stations from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and they found that there was no discrepancy with what they were selling and providing.

Isolated incident.

i filled up with bp 98? sat night, so far so good, but tghen allas well in tghe shire!?:Dntknw:

imo, stick with the same servo(s) that you "trust" or haven't caused you any problems.  Hopefully that continues and you don't fall prey to these dodgy b@stards looking for that extra buck.  At the prices of petrol now, they shouldn't need to.......

Yeah, i didnt think of the ping factor. i wonder how many, if any High performance cars have been damaged because of this scam?

if that was the case, he could be up for a class action.

Hey im new to the site...

I thought i would add my experence to this thread, ive always run my Liberty off 98, but find theres a difference between bp and Shell (shells always better!) and as such i always fill up at Shell...

dont even go near Caltex anymore... though some out there might be interested to know Caltex and bp fuels are the same fuels...

hai, n00b.

best to introduce yourself, let us know what exactly you drive, and best to back up your outlandish claim.

I disagree with what you have to say. In all my experiences with multiple vehicles, I can honestly say, that BP's 98 Octane fuel has always been better than Shell's 98 Octane Fuel.

I dirve an '01 liberty GX, just finished paying it off... so going to start moding soon, starting with lowering it, dont know where to go from there... suggestions welcome

I should clarify... my comment on bp 98 not performing as well as Shell 98 is purly from my personal experence, and its not a big difference just the car feel stronger and faster on shell. As for the caltex/bp fuel thing, i use to work at caltex, and have seen a number of delievers come in from bp, and the tanker drivers confirm it.
