    Quote from there website:

    What benefits might I expect?

    In our independent tests in a range of cars, BP Ultimate 102 gave typical power benefits of between 4 and 7.5 per cent above 97 octane BP Ultimate Unleaded when the ignition was remapped. On a high performance, turbo charged vehicle, with boost pressure increased, the power benefits seen included an increase in maximum power of 37 bhp (8.6%), and as much as 60 bhp (16%) at some points in the engine speed range.



    60 BHP increase after remap

    I bet its not cheap...

            Sorry, I'm still excited about 99 octane fuel.

              This has been out nearly two years. It's very annoying because one of the six-or-so stations in the UK that sell it is just across the water from me, in Portsmouth. Unfortunately, there is a £40 ferry in the way.

              I've often been tempted to fill up when I'm on a mainland run, but it's over £2/litre and although road legal was really designed for track days/ rallying, etc, so possibly a bit wasted just running up and down the motorway. With current petrol prices, this is starting to look like good value though!

              Supposedly the dogs proverbials though. They challenged themselves to create essentially the same fuel as their F1 fuel (same octane/manufacture/quality control chain, etc.) but street legal. You get a certificate of composition with every purchase...

                Paul was telling me about this the other day. Sounds great; if you can source pure toluene...

                  I'd go Toluene if I could get it and dispense it safely... Two gallons of that in your tank and the ECU would be in heaven with all those requests for 'more advance' from the engine - yum yum.

                    it ain't cheap - this is 99.995% pure

                    you can get 99.999% pure, but its twice the price.

                      Yeah. I got stumped by the price of toluene and xylene. It's not like popping into your local hardware store in the US. If anyone knows of a cheap source in the UK let me know.

                        Just worked out that to fill the car up is going to cost about £120....

                        And a drive through to Edinburgh...

                        Anyone used it on here yet?
