BP ultimate in all the cars. Used to use optimax when it was still optimax, as soon as they changed to that v-power sh|t I stopped using it.
Filled up the tank one day close to 100 dollars worth of the v-power racing, half way home the car started to stall and run like sh|t, drove it around for the next week trying to figure out what it was. When it was near empty I filled it up with BP ultimate and have not had a problem since.

Just wondering, does anyone have an original VL Turbo Owners Book? Can they check what Fuel they suggest?

very interesting. They charge different prices and sell "different" products but its all the same sh!t. Ive been told they are closing a few mobil servos down. And they seem to be building more bp's. Maybe im looking to much into it now..

Bp Ultimate. Because i have a BP card and work pays for all my fuel. Plus i get free drinks and food with the card. So BP all the way. BP FTW

I run plus ULP from United in my bluey (SR20DET) and it runs beautifully! It's the cheapest around, usually 5 to 10c cheaper and 95 ron too! It pings standard unleaded cos its an import engine but fine on 95.
I don't know y all u guys are scared of ethanol. The reason some ppls cars wont run well on it is because any water sitting in the bottom of your tank desolves into it aswell as cleaning contaniments out of your fuel system that can block your filter or injectors. I say it's not the fuels fault, it's your cars. Try it, if u have a problem, change your filter, get your injectors cleaned and try it again! It's good stuff, and better for the enviorment!
If 100% ethanol was available i'd be running it for sure!
Also i've personally seen results from V power racing, there's about 10% power to be had accross the board over 98 when tuned! Definatly running it in my race car next race! Oh and better than avgas too!
