Wow.. seems like forever since I last blogged. But just thought I'd put this up.
Was low on fuel some time ago and the only place that was convenient was BHP petrol... yes the one by Boustead group - previously jointly owned with BP.
After the fill-up and driving around for a while, it really seemed like my car had no power. In fact, I found that I had to use the sport mode so often as it was just not responsive..... anything wrong with my car??????? (hope not!!)
Finally used up most of the BHP today and was back to Shell. THANKFULLY, my car now feels back to normal. It just seems that it's noticeably more responsive. And I don't use that premium fuel either - I'm just using the green fuel economy version.
Always felt that all the advertising about differences in fuel and all was NOT TRUE. I always thought that the feeling was more psychological than anything. Seems like there may be some facts behind it.
I did read somewhere though that the 'freshness' of the fuel is important as well.... so considering that BHP doesn't get much business, that could play a role. Note that Project promotes their fuel on the claim of 'freshness'... something like delivered daily (or something like that!!)
All I can say is that I'm not going back to BHP anytime soon!

Oh, thanks for sharing. Hmm.. now I know......... :D
My car prefers Petronas for fuel economy and power. Caltex for power. Shell so so only, but got Bonuslink. Trying Projet now. Not too bad.
I totally agree with you. All petrol are not the same. Shell is the best!! Shell with the VPower really got power and now with the Formula 1 Fuel, the car can do so much more. Hehehe can be the new Alonso/Hamilton on the road.
However, I now stick to the the green regular fuel and its still much better than most petrol out there.
Go the Distance with Shell - Damn Power man!
