My local BP servos have been pumping regular diesel for at least a month now.
The notice on the pump says Ultimate diesel is not available.
Anyone know what's going on?
Are they worried about the low, low sulphur content?
Are they preparing a Diesel that already has 2 stroke oil mixed into it?
Facts and rumours happily discussed.

The BP web sight says
to find out where you can purchase BP Ultimate Diesel please call the BP helpline on 1300 1300 27
This might help hopefully.

No idea, but we can't get it here in
Brisbane either. I put in the normal stuff plus some Chemtech- end up with the same product I think! :)

Here's a rumour for you, its alpine diesel with a name put to it and marketed to get extra money out of you.
Hmmm true or not

On my last fill up here on the GC, the guy behind the counter at the Parkwood BP said that he was quite sure that the most recent fill of their tanks was with Ultimate. So maybe it's back.

If hes charging extra for it and labelled as "Ultimate" then he'd probably want to be a bit more than "quite sure"

I ran about a dozen tanks of it and after that didn't notice any real difference in fuel consumption, so stopped paying the extra for it. Perhaps a number of people found the same.

the only possible reason you would buy BP fuel is
- you are in the country and it is the only roadhouse
- you have a company supplied fuelcard
BP is always min 5c dearer and up to 20c dearer than normal prices
- couldnt tell you the last time i used it

Agree with this Get Outmore. Have the fuel card at work. My company car is a Captiva Diesel. Runs better OFF the Ultimate than on. 700kms City OFF ult, 620 on.

Not sure where you live but...
When I lived in
Adelaide, I bought BP diesel from the truck stop- it was always at least 5c/litre cheaper than every other servo in the city and you knew the turnover was good. They would sell it for $1.13 while the rest of town had it for around $1.20, and the high flow pumps were nice too.
Here in
Brisbane, BP diesel is the same price as everywhere else (I haven't found a truck stop yet) and I use it because I know my car runs
well on it.
I never did notice a difference between normal and ultimate diesel, but I always added Chemtech to the normal stuff anyway. Hopefully my injector pump is thanking me!

In my neck of the woods:
BP Halls Head 1.279 /litre
Caltex Erskine 1.289 /litre
When it's back to Ultimate it will go up by about 4 cpl.
