Is BP Ultimate as good as Shell V-Max?
            
            
                You have always recommended Shell V Power petrol and I have run my high mileage BMW 535iMSport on it for three years and my wife's C-Max 1800cc similarly with absolutely no problems.
Now a new BP station has opened up which is much nearer home, do you think that BP Ultimate is as good as the Shell V-Max?
I am much more concerned with keeping both cars engines clean and healthy than saving a few pence per litre.

    I have an MG HS PHEV. With energy prices being as high as they are right now, is it best to use it on electric power on a daily basis or will it be cheaper to run the car on petrol only?
    
    
        
    
    Now that we have a £2,500 energy price guarantee will it still be cheaper to charge up my plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or will it be cheaper to buy petrol?
