When i bought my car off 'Kev 305' he said the car had been mapped to take BP ultimate, having just been on Bob Rawle's website it says one fuel to avoid is BP ultimate, why is that? ive been filling up with it ever since i bought the car.

Yep V-Power is 99 RON, BP has the lowest RON of all the super unleaded fuels as far as I know and less than the 98 RON that Subaru recommend. I used it very occassionally when I had the WR1 and didn't notice any difference, in fact it ran better than when I was forced to fill with Tesco 99 once, don't know whether I got the dreggings at the bottom of their tank but it ran like a big o shit

They will run on BP ultimate but changing fuel to vpower or tesco 99 would be better. You shouldnt need to get it remapped for these but if it has been mapped to the BP fuel it would get better performance if the map tweaked to suit the better fuel.

Hi Mark, Dave Rowe will be doing ours too when the build is done,
use V-power everytime only ever put £5 of bp in to get to the next v-power, although I have been informed morrison's bio-ethonal yes the supermarket at £1 lt is getting better results than V-power by about 30bhp
but'll I'll find out again to be sure

Interesting....wonder what RON the Morrisons stuff is and who makes it?
Here is the inspector sheet link for T99....

It certainly did alright for us - plus a little sprinkling of fairy dust!!

i always use tesco's 99,i was told bp ultimate was the same a v-power but its obvious that no the case,i'll occasionally use v-power as its a good place to meet fellow subaru drivers and have a chat lol

You not go far wrong with RCM an Dave
It's being stripped out on 1st sept, to see whats good or not, then they are putting a price together for me to laugh at
