Haha Tardme funnies.

Joker have you got a copy of the new list of Ultimate stations ?

And how come there hasn't been any mention of this in the media ?

[Joker]

copy I have is same as on BP site (link in other thread)

http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_internet/bp_ultimate/bp_ultimate_new_zealand/STAGING/local_assets/downloads_pdfs/uv/PrintableBPUltimatelocationguideFeb09.pdf

apparently some sites are still up for review

[Disruptz]

There is now 98 available in priority #1 BP sites which is supplied by MOBIL,.. just if any would like to know, that the remaining 98 available is the same as mobile 98... As many sites have now or in the process of running dry, mobil has sparingly helped out.

BP Ultimate will be arriving on the 28th at Mount Maunganui.

[newsuba]

BP Palmy has 98 back in stock but couldn't tell me the source...

[spark_38]

BP Lower Hutt (melling) also seems back in stock and a few cents cheaper too at $1.77/L

I just filled up

[UnitedWeFall]

So BP is using Mobil 98, and the last time I checked Mobil 98 was 3-4 cents cheaper per liter than BP 98... haha, awesome

As received from BP today following my snotagram sent yesterday:-

"......Thanks for your email.

We are experiencing stock issues with BP Ultimate at the moment which

has effected the majority of BP Ultimate stores in the North Island.

BP Ultimate is imported into New Zealand from Kwinana Refinery in

Australia and unfortunately there having been some shipping delays with

our latest load of product which has caused the stock issues.

We have no plans to withdraw BP Ultimate from the New Zealand market.

Our shipment will be arriving into Seaview Terminal tomorrow and will

start being distributed to stores on Thursday 26th February......."

I'll call the dogs off for now then....

[Scoobydoo]

Yeah I saw a highlighter green-coloured tanker heading towards Lower Hutt this evening... coud only assume it was a BP 98-carrying tanker.

[Johnnynz]

Saw a lot of BP trucks o nthe road in the last two days actualy, probably somewhere between 10 and 15 in two days.

Someone lit a fire under someones ass for this one I bet.

Meh Mobil 8000 is better, and always available I swear my car runs better on it (probably just in my head, but who knows).

Yer lots of people swear not to use to, but i've tried it and found the same as you..

Yep, it's ALL i use, and it's bloody fine. Cheap as too. Mobil oteha valley is one of the cheapest petrol stations in the country, and it's right "next door".

However, because NOBODY knows what it'll do to our fuel systems in the long term, there is no way of knowing how safe it is.

What? Since when was Mobil 8000 biofuel? I thought it was only in Wellington or something. In Hamilton there's nothing on the pumps or anywhere that states that it's anything other that 98 petrol.

If it has no ethanol blend, abuse it as much as you want. Just remember than when there is a blend, that's when we all become lab rats to see how long it takes before the ethanol eats at our fuel system.

You're one of those conspiracy theorists who wanders round the house in tinfoil hats so the government cant read your thoughts from satelites aren't you?

Ethanol is a good thing. Run more boost, more timing, make more power.......

LOL .

[Joker]

oh and its also corrodes the aluminium in the heads I am told

[cpt kernow]

I'm pretty sure that Ethanol has less energy per unit vol than petrol

Anyways I'm off to spend the BP vouchers I got in the post
