Bp Gas?

I was wondering if anyone noticed a diffenrence in using BP gas instead of any other brand of gas. I noticed that I get about 100 miles more to a tank of gas using BP then other brands. Wondering if anyone has found this.

I don't believe it, but I'll fill up w/ BP next time & let you know.

Never heard of it.
What is BP gas?
Most gas comes out of the same pipe line. They just dump in a little additive to make/change it to different brands.
I has watched all different brands tank trucks fill up at the same spicket.:grinyes: :rofl: :lol:

BP (British Petroleum) is the large oil company that owns Arco (and sponsors Marcus Gronholm, the WRC driver in my avatar!). There are not many of those stations in this area. Some places have more. If it's the same gas as they sell through Arco, it probably sucks.

Well I am here in Jacksonville, NC. and using BP gas is working for all of us that are trying it. It costs about 10 cents more but it is definetly worth it.

If it's 10 cents more, then it must be their better brand. Arco is the bargain stuff around here.

Well what kind of additive has it got in it? Or makes it different from other gas?

But for how long?:lol: :rofl: :grinyes:
Pure old moonshine gives them a boost to.
That BG sounds to good to be a good idea.
It would be a good idea to find out what it has in it. Some of the crap they put in there gives good mileage first tank or 2 and then things may start blowing up or go the other way.

if it has that much benefit something has got to be wrong with it, or every company would be doing the same thing.

I've tried BP gas around Raleigh NC and didn't notice a difference myself, but then again it was the same price as the station across the street. To me, good gas is good gas is good gas lol.

On another note, does anyone know why my truck tends to do more pinging during the change of seasons from winter to summer. Is it because of the change in the gas formulas? I find that I have to fill up with 89 octane during this period or I get more pinging. It has never affected the mileage or power, but it just sounds better sp I feel better. Once summer is in full force, no more pinging on the cheap stuff.

They change the additives from winter to summer.
You should not get much pinging from just performance off a little.
You might go over your truck and make sure the timing is set correct and the spark knock system is working right.

I forgot to report my results:

Usual MPG (mostly around town) 16
BP gas: 16

A euro mag, EVO, did hp and mileage tests with different gases. Of course they used a BMW M5 and a Golf GTI. They got the best results with shell and BP. Euro cars tend to run better on shell and bp in my opinion, and everything I've read.

I notice at certain gas station i seem to get better MPG , like newer gas stations it seems to last alittle longer.I think that at older gas station they might have a little water in their tank or something.

Another thought - In urban areas, we are getting more additives and ethanol for emissions than rural areas. Ethanol absorbs water, gets worse mileage, etc. Are those of you getting better mileage in the country?

well ok it worked for about 7 fillups and now i am back to original gas milage using BP

They probably was testing out a new gas, but they thought they could lose millions/billions if they put it on the market, so they pulled it. :)

well they should put it back I had a lot of people try it and got the same results. So it just wasn't a fluke with my Silverado. Had a integra, Ford exploder, silverado 2500- 8.1L, dodge dakota, and a neon all get about same results with the integra the best went from 31mpg to 37 mpg on higway

hey, yea all I use is BP gas. I notice a big difference. When i dont used it and ill settle for a citgo ervery so often, my truck doesnt run as good.
