BP Ultimate shortage in Northern Ireland?

[Arfur]

see the Texaco in comber has no supreme unleaded tonight they didn't know when they were getting more and I was 4th or 5th person to ask for it
whats happening

Two and a half weeks ago I was in, they had none then either.

 

[Gambit]

yeah i asked them on wed night, said delivery was expected sat past but their supplier having issues now getting it

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

I used to always use Texaco to fill the scoob too.

The BP on the Manse Road in Newtownabbey is now a Topaz if anyone prefers their SUL.

I hadn't realised it had changed until the girl at the counter told me they no longer accept my Nectar card, and then I noticed the big new sign outside

 

[pablo]

interesting, how much is super there?

 

[Eager]

Was up around abbey centre the other day. Near sure the tesco said 99ron available ?

I never really noticed the prices tbh as that's just where I normally get my petrol. I couldn't even tell you the price of regular petrol these days as I don't even shop around

I've just always put BP Ultimate in my cars.

signs yes, fuel no

 

[Eager]

We would be so lucky

 

[BrookST]

They should cover up the sul 99 sign at Tesco abbey centre surely, misleading, regardless of standard company deployment

Is the topaz super the nearest we get to shell vpower? I know its 98 Ron and the topaz super is 97 but topaz did buy shell ireland over including the north sites. It's been covered to death I know I just wish someone would invest and have the storage tanks here for supplying 98 Ron and Tesco 99.

 

[Artoir]

I can't remember which one, but one of the respected Subaru tuners from Englandshire said Topaz was definitely the best of a bad bunch.

Wrong, hendersons bought the most of them. Topaz only have one company owned site in the north.

V Power is actually 99 RON, not that it matters to use over here as we'll never get it

What's the craic with Topaz then? Is it Shell fuel?

 

[ciarandeery1]

Maxol just opened a new station close to mine (eglinton , derry)
thank god it sells super, not sure of the quality but its super which is a start

 

[stevieturbo]

Highly unlikely, Shell have had no presence here for many years now.

 

[dingle]

It's just another 97 RON petrol as far as I know - In fact the funny thing was, my first visit after the Topaz takeover on the Manse Road resulted in me going away with an empty tank - They weren't selling any petrol that evening due to an "IT problem" - I've been using the BP on the Antrim Road since.

My local Maxol has just changed to Topaz but I think I'll stick to BP Ultimate in that case!

Topaz is better quality than bp.

 

[gcon45]

What are you basing that on @scooby stu?

 

[Stu Beck]

Bob rawle and simon roe have both said in the past that when they are mapping any scoobs that are using bp ultimate they run like they are on dish water. Bob rawle mapped mine only two months ago on topaz and said the fuel seemed good but he has warned against using bp ultimate. Two of the most reputable mappers in the uk.

 

[Stu Beck]

Taken from bob rawles website, Fuel choice is very important and strongly influences potential gains, for the best opportunity then Shell V Power or Tesco Momentum (99) must be the norm. 97 ron Super is then next best with 95 ron allowing some gains but mainly forcing a remap for safe engine performance when using the low fuel grade. One fuel to avoid is BP Ultimate which is not suited to the Impreza engine.

 

[gcon45]

Ah right. I was talking about ultimate diesel.

I'd usually use Texaco's high octane 97 in the NSX though but might try Topaz.

 

[Stu Beck]

Maybe its just the impreza engines as he says at the end but im sure they are all similar.
