The Benefits of Amoco Ultimate® fuels at BP At BP we’re fueled by innovation. Our Amoco brand was among the first fuel producers to develop a detergent additive for fuel-injected cars. And the first to offer lead-free gasoline leading the movement to removing a significant pollutant from our environment. Check out the benefits of Amoco Ultimate®
below. |
| |
• With continuous use, Amoco Ultimate® at BP is designed to keep engines clean and clean up the entire fuel intake system by 50% including the fuel injectors and intake valves, and even carburetors in older vehicles |
| |
• The enhanced engine cleaning formula in Amoco Ultimate® helps new cars maintain peak performance by keeping critical engine parts clean and it can clean up deposits on vehicles that have engine deposits from use of fuels with minimum detergency, improving performance |
| |
• In cars old and new with engine deposits continuous use of Amoco Ultimate® can restore performance by cutting away deposits from intake valves, restoring drivability with less hesitation, smoother idling and smoother acceleration |
| |
• The high octane level in Amoco Ultimate® helps to prevent engine knock. Knock occurs when some of the gasoline / air mixture ignites spontaneously in the engine’s cylinders. When spontaneous and normal flames collide, you hear a “knock”. |
| |
• A number of vehicles are designed to adjust engine operation to take advantage of a higher octane fuel. For those vehicles, use of premium gasoline may result in faster acceleration and more power |
| |
• With continuous use, the enhanced engine cleaning formula of Amoco Ultimate® helps to lower exhaust emissions by 10-20%, leading to cleaner air |
| |
• In 1999, seven years ahead of government mandates, Amoco Ultimate® was the first low-sulfur gasoline in the country. By 2003, the availability in 45 cities of this low-sulfur Amoco Ultimate® was removing the equivalent of 100,000 cars’ emissions every day ** |
| |
• Amoco Ultimate® is formulated to help prevent internal rust and corrosion of fuel-handling engine parts |
| |
• Amoco fuels volatility is adjusted several times a year in order to meet seasonal and geographic requirements to ensure good engine start-up in cold weather and avoid vapor lock in hot weather |

**Based on NOx emissions reductions beyond EPA’s or state mandates prior to 2006, and actual sales of low-sulfur Ultimate. |
