tank had about 100klm's of driving left in it, but i decided to pull into the petrol station and fill up my CC.
i filled it up with BP Ultimate, but when the petrol bowser reached $60 ........ i thought

the $60 got me just over 40 litres.

how does the price of petrol here in Oz rate to you guys in the UK ????

unleaded is around 92-95p a litre

optimax/bp ultimate around 99p - Â£1.08 a litre

optimax/bp ultimate around 99p - Â£1.08 a litre

wow, so if your BP Ultimate equates to around $2.50 in our currency ......... then i suppose things arent as bad here ..... just yet !

lol, this is exactly what happened to me and the BP ultimate pump last night! went over the Â£40 mark plus a bit more and I was a bit annoyed to say the least.

first and last time im using that stuff.

glad you've got the choice, it's gotta be optimax or bp ulitmate in me Z

(it can run on 95 octane but not recommended)

As I have the same problem as Lyndon, it has to be Optimax, but I can get it for 96.9 or 97.9 in Edinburgh so it isn't too bad. If I take the 350ZR to work tomorrow I will need to fill up and it will cost around Â£60-Â£70

Paying 90.9 for normal unleaded the now for the MG ZR.

ouch ........... paying 40GBP to fill up has gotta hurt !! that would roughly equate to 90 aussie dollars ....... and so far we havent reached that figure for filling up a CC.
to fill up your CC here with BP Ultimate would cost around 25GBP.
