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.
