I usually only go with Shell and Caltex but having had 2 dodgy tanks in my other car with Caltex, I've ditched them
I finally managed to get a tank full of BP Ultimate Diesel into the car (20L left, so 130L of fresh fuel) and within a couple of minutes' driving I'd noticed that she was smoother, quieter and seemed a little more responsive. It wasn't until I reached a hill where my car normally kicks back a gear under cruise control - and didn't this time - that I was convinced that what I thought was slightly more power actually was more power.
BP Ultimate is supposed to have a cetane rating of 55 (a bit higher than the competitors) and have added detergents and antifoaming agents. The higher cetane rating means that the fuel will start a more thorough ignition process a little earlier. I don't know how this will affect chips like Unichip that alter injection timing by playing with the CAS signal, but perhaps someone who HAS a Unichip (or similar, it MUST change injector timing to be of concern) might let us know if there's a difference - for example, a rise in diesel knock because the fuel is burning sooner than expected.
Still, about 65km done on this tank and I'm sure that my car is quieter. Tomorrow morning I'll start her again and will see if it is quieter when cold.

Good choice. And if you see the fuel truck dropping the fuel in, keep driving.

What is that? They always ask me if I have one lol. Is it like flybuys? I use that at Shell and the fuel discount vouchers.

It'd take ages to get enough for a voucher to buy crap at Myer! So bloody expensive there. The last time I went to Myer I got lost and couldn't find my way out... haven't been in since lol

i run either BP or Caltex because it has premium Diesel. mainly Caltex due to cost. when you feel up 140L's fuel 8cent per L discount actually worth more than 10bucks. both my local caltex and bp have new tanks as well.
