BP's 'racing fuel' more available
« on: August 23, 2006, 07:24:24 AM »

BP's announced that it will expand the availability of its 102 octane grade fuel, following a successful initial trial earlier this year.

The ‘handmade’ BP Ultimate 102 Unleaded's formulation meets exactly the same specifications used in Formula 1 and the World Rally Championships, according to BP, and the decision to target a further 30 sites follows extremely positive reaction from customers after the fuel was introduced at six locations in April this year.

This octane level is, reckons BP, the highest octane available on any UK forecourt, while remaining road-legal. 102 is crystal clear, and is less than 0.1 per cent benzene. This makes it the only automotive petrol available not classed as carcinogenic, and it’s also unique in containing a high performance ‘bio-component’ which works to reduce greenhouse gas emissions -- that's according to the BP press office.

BP Ultimate 102 is intended for the growing numbers of highly tuned, high performance cars available, and for use on track days or for race testing.

The price of the fuel, at £2.42 per litre  :o, reflects its advanced components and small-batch production at BP’s Specialty Fuels Technology Centre.

Product manager Paul Beckwith said: “This fuel was developed to satisfy the need for an extreme high performance fuel that’s easily available to private motor sporting enthusiasts.  People who invest in supercar-engineering naturally want to fill up with similarly advanced fuel, which has all the properties of the fuels used at the pinnacle of motor sport.”

I've checked and it's OK for my car  :yahoo: but will I feel the difference? and at that price it would have to be my birthday!  :(
