Did you mean jelly? Or belly? Jellybelly...

Driving the s to get good mpg is like, not being allowed to tease fatty... It's not fun...

Best mpg is achieved with angry snails and thier closely related cousins.... Especially with waaatsshhh sounds.... Even better mpg is achieved whilst on opposite lock travelling sideways... Angry snails may well bite your arse off....

I only have tesco or BP near me. So I use tesco 99 rather than BP's 97.

If near a shell I go for VPOWER, but they're the only two I use unless it's an emergency.

Germany I guess.

BP used to sell it at some stations near race tracks, but no more. IIRC there's no benefit in an S2000 (unless you map specifically for it, but that would be pretty stupid on a road car).

A 2009 car will run perfectly well on 95.

For me tuning wise , BP ultimate is shite compared to vpower I could advance timing 2 degrees based on bp ultimate and that's with cvl turbo octane booster.

I think working it out bp ultimate is barely 97 ron.

My tests were on my car on same day but turbo, I'll never use bp ultimate again overpriced shit.
