have fun at around £2.50 a litre,

You won't notice much difference without the car being mapped for it mate so its not worth the pennies really.

I'm not sure... AndyF was saying that performance cars thrive on higher octane stuff and when running the car on track, Crail etc, the higher RON stuff minimises the chance of knocking, thus providing another factor in engine safety. To that end he urged me to use V power which I wasn't going to do and also rcommended octane booster on track days. I'm sure you are having a laugh saying its going to be £2.50, right?

Are you not getting mixed up with that stuff they done that was 107 or something. I am sure this is a different one. May be wrong though. If you read the engineer part, they tested it on a STI and you can see the power difference.

send me a text if you fill up with it and let us know the price. Nae way I'm paying £2.50 a litre. If you used VPower with Octane boost you would get the same result (or better) for far less candy.

Will do mate, will be a week on sat mate.

http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do...ntentId=7016848 more info here on it, and its selling at 2.35 alitre. Will be good for the odd occasion. Track Days and runs, but running it all the time would bankrupt me!

Here here! Would be interesting to see the difference it would make to your car since the remap.

Yeah. I turned up at AndyF with a full tank of 95RON and he really wasn't happy! He gave me a talking to and said you wll loose 20 BHP and the car wont run as safely, so that urged me to do it. In the meantime, he stuck octane booster in for the map. V Power from now on ;)

So are you telling me you made those figures on 95ron? I'm even sicker now... Going to sulk...

I've always used V-Power or when desperate BP Ultimate - however with a new Tesco out the road I'll be giving that 99 RON a go.

Also, I've got a sticker on the inside of my fuel flap that says it should only ever be filled with 98 RON Minimum??
