Yet most find it doesn't perform as good as the others, why? No/less ethanol of course.

I believe BP ultimate to have 4 % ethanol in it.

BP Ultimate also contains a high dose of additive to protect the fuel system and to remove deposits that foul intake valves and the combustion chamber causing poor combustion and knock.
