The BP is for BP AMOCO, Ford and BP (British Petroleum) are together in advertising, thus the BP recomended on the filler cap. BP is a HUGE sponsor of Ford rally cars in Europe.

BP obviously didn't spend their money well if people can't even figure out it's advertisement for their gas station.

I know this sounds stupid but, in my wife's acura, my jeep TJ, and my truck I get better millage with BP then Citco or Marathon. The best part is the BP near my house has the lowest gas prices around.

BP anything has never been in my truck and it still runs good. I couldn't even tell you where a BP station is in my area. The ford newsletter I get has quite a bit of BP garb in it.

Maybe BP doesn't use 10% ethanol and thus better fuel efficiency? I don't have a BP anywhere near me, so I can't confirm that. My wife's new car has this on the cap, too, and it makes me laugh.

A lot of them didn't until recently. There's a BP in town here that I always fill up with because I noticed I got better gas mileage when I filled up there. No sooner did I figure this out then the owner tells me BP is switching to 10% Ethanol. BP was probably loosing it's *** since everyone else was diluting their fuel.

I work offshore in the diving buisness. We worked for BP for nine months after hurricane Katrina. They made us a lot of promises for gadgets and bonus's that we never recieved. So, we nicknamed them "Broken Promises's"
