Anybody stopped using BP Ultimate gas?

I don't have much else to choose from around here. I got Home Depot fuel, Quick Trip, Kroger, and lots of small random gas stations. I have always put the Ultimate gas in my SS ride but starting to rethink due to BP's blunders in the Gulf.

I don't have an SS, but was running BP in my 2.4L........ Now I shop across the street and get 92 instead of 93 octane. All oil production is a dirty business but BP really showed me what's important to them with this fiasco, and how capable they are at fixing problems.......

ill still use it, atleast they're trying to fix it, obviously this hasn't happened before. it wasn't bp that made the problem, twas the company they employed but bp is taking blame. if they were just saying its not their fault or didn't try anything to fix it, I wouldn't use bp. also castrol oil is a bp product aswell.

Never used it anyway.

No reason to start now, especially with the issues that are going on with the Gulf.

Wow you guys are doing a BP Boycott???? Dont forget Obama is calling the shots here. Other than owning the well and doing what the regime tells them BP has nothing to do with the spill and it unsuccessful clean up. Not to make it political just stating the facts of the cleanup program.

Agreed! Government regulation made deep water drilling an only option. Government regulation caused the spill. At these depths you might as well have drilling on the moon!

Mistakes were made, sure! Criminal action against possible BP cover ups and falsifying inspections...prosecute!

But a boycott of the BP label only shows you have no idea how we get oil and it's use in industry....no idea at all!

I won't boycott. I think they need the money to afford the cleanup and claims. Otherwise, we'll foot the bill in the end. Besides, I have no idea what gasoline brands or other products are from BP.
