It's got nothing to do with being a fuel snob, BP ultimate is Octane 98 which is recommended for my car so that's what I choose to use.
you get more bang for your buck compared to octane 95.
Any unleaded will work in any car , yes but 98 and 95 are different kettles of fish entirely.
No one said that supermarket fuel was crap that's you on your high horse.

As I said. "Go do some research before making such a silly comment".
Edit again. For the silly eejits. I have been driving for over 40 years and always use the cheapest fuel available. Drive in excess of 20,000 miles every year. Never ever had a fuel related breakdown. Go figure!

Is BP Ultimate much more expensive per litre than regular fuel does anyone know?

Around by me it's 10p per litre more which works out at £2.50 more per 50ltr tank.
I would rather pay that for a bit more ummph and get a few more miles.
I'm personally not a fan of supermarket petrol.
Each to there own though :wink:

Utter, utter, utter pish.
Edit. All petrol and diesel come from the same UK refineries. Just some end sites add some 'snake oil' to make the fuel snobs think they are getting a super fuel. So being a snob about supermarket fuel will not make your car get 'ummph and get a few more miles'. Go do some research before making such a silly comment.

Octane 98 is not unique to BP. I give up. Be a fuel snob if you like, I really don't care.

Petrol or Diesel? My experience with Diesel is the opposite, after a few tanks with cheap stuff an injector clogged and the car would barely run. After going back to BP normal diesel and adding Miller's additives the car improved a lot and 3 years later I still haven't fixed it the injector and had no more problems.
The few times that I had to use Esso or supermarket fuel I noticed the car getting worse again and black smoke coming out. I'm pretty sure Esso and Tesco are the same, and probably not much different than other cheap brands, but definitely not the same as BP.
As for using Ultimate, over normal fuel, you're probably better off buying a separate additive and adding it yourself. You have more control on what you're adding, with better quality, and it'll be cheaper.
