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.

No. It isn't. Lower RoN.
