Optimax or Ultimate for better performance ??

Postby rally_driver » Sat May 20, 2006 11:46 am

After running my wheels on Optimax since I bought it in February, I got caught short the other day & had to fill up with Ultimate!
I`ve noticed an amazing improvement...especially when putting the pedal to the metal on overtaking manouvres!!

Can anyone explain the difference in the 2 fuels as I`m not a technical wizard & why the performance is so much better than Optimax?

Has anyone else noticed any difference when running between the two fuels?

Any feedback appreciated! :D

Not tried the new ultimate but been running on tesco99 for about the last six months or so, but the other day I filled up with optimax and she don't feel as quick, so its back to tesco I guess.

Tescos works for me too. I think Ultimate had a re-blend not long ago, so it may have caught up with Optimax. I doubt it would be worth paying a 7p premium over Tesco though!

Are you always filling up at the same petrol station ?

Try sometimes changing. Some stations take better care of the content of their tanks than others :wink:
