98 octane Gull petrol?

**frogfeaturesFZR** · 3rd March 2010, 19:49

Question guys, I have an Aprilia RSV and want to know if I can use Gull's 98 gas ?
I seem to remember it contains Ethanol and wondered if it has any known side effects ?
I'd rather use Gull if I can. Cheers

Erm, if it may have side effects, why?

I was told by a mechanic friend that as it was processed in Singapore it was a better grade than the locally produced stuff. And it's my local gas station as well.

If it was MY bike, I'd stick with BP Ultimate

Best to check with the Aprilia dealership, or your local service agent.

Are you sure this wasn't BP "Premium"? They advertise premium as being 95, and ultimate as being 98. Not all BP stations sell ultimate.

I'd say that's right. I can't recall where I was when I found that premium stuff but yes they do seem to vary as to who sells what. I see we are back to record high prices again.... I have to stop eating just so I can ride!

In ten years time you'll be able to say "I remember when Petrol was less than $2/litre - it was so cheap then".
