BP 93 Ultimate or Shell 93 V-Power?

[DKJUN75]

I have been using BP for 8 months but few days ago I thought why not try Shell? The fact is, I can't really tell which is better cause I haven't try Shell at like 120mph. Anyone have great experience?

colorado sucks for octane options. its 91 or 100 at a couple stations. I wish we had a BP here or a sunoco that gave 93

ESSO is the only way to go!

In direct answer to your question, VPower works great at 120 mph. So does the E92 M3.

Haven't tried the BP.

I think its because of the whole BMW loves Castrol thing and BP owns Castrol....correct me if I'm wrong. In case you are wondering, i use Shell 93.

With no objective reason given and no proof of results. Pure marketing my friend, companies collaborate all the time to sell more product.

"Top Tier" gasoline is a marketing effort created to combat the educated internet-age consumer that realizes that gas of the same octane sold pretty much anywhere in the USA is functionally identical.
