Hi all,

 

You often see variation in prices of 91 petrol across BP stations in your region, but does that same variation apply to their Ultimate 98 product?  When out and about I tend to go to the station that has a good 91 price and fill up with 98, but I'm starting to wonder if the 98 price is fixed across all stations?  Has anyone noticed this before or even completed a little research into the subject?  In other words, is it worth shopping around for prices of 98?

 

Please note that this post is not intended to spark a 91 v 98 debate :-).

 

Cheers.

I fill up on 98, but get BP fuel card pricing. I have looked into this and although the price of 98 doesn't seem to be fixed, it pretty much would only vary by a few cents between stations. I've been to BP stations selling 91 at 30-40c cheaper than another BP station; but 98 price was the same. You may notice the BP on the motorway out of Auckland usually doesn't have much discount on 91, but its 98 price will be much the same as the other stations that do discount their 91.

 

So basically, you do not need to shop around for 98 pricing.

Thanks for the helpful answers everyone.  Kind of confirms what I suspected - little to no difference between BP stations for Ultimate 98.  The positive from this is there is no need to shop around for 98 prices which makes life a little easier :-)
