Why Use BP Gas?

 97 Octane - BP Regular RFG has 87 (minimum) Octane Number, (R+M)/2 Prevents  Fuel Line Freeze-Up - ICE-GARD® is added to BP gasoline during the winter months of November through March at selected sites throughout the Midwest.  This additive prevents any water which may be present in the fuel system from freezing.  Ice formed can result in engine misfiring, stalling of failure to start.  Consult your local BP representative to determine if ICE-GARD® is available in your area.
 Rust Protection - This gasoline contains special corrosion inhibitors designed to prevent rust and scale formation thought the fuel system and to help maintain clean gasoline in storage and delivery equipment - double protection against poor performance and fuel filter clogging. Oxygenates - The use of oxygenates is required in RFG as it allows for more complete combustion of the fuel and lowers vehicle emissions.  To find out if the gasoline in your area is RFG or which oxygenate it contains, contact your local BP representatives or call BP Quality & Technical Service at 1-800-841-5255.
 Seasonally Blended - The volatility of BP Regular RFG is adjusted at least four times  a year in order to meet seasonal requirements.  We seasonally adjust volatility for good starting in cold weather and for avoiding vapor lock in hot weather. Quality Assurance -  The quality prices begins at each refinery, where batches of gasoline are tested to verify compliance with manufacturing specifications and state and federal regulations.  In addition, gasoline samples from BP distribution terminals and service stations are collected and tested regularly to monitor quality through tout the distribution system.
