Joe - what spec engine are you running in Tahiti? The 3-4 bhp extra sounds like a significant difference.

Is this is the higher octane allowing the motor to make full use of a higher compression set-up?

Does it not depend on how your timing is set?

I'd love to see a test where people have to rate all the different fuels without knowing what the are. I bet the results would be very interesting.

there is one on pistonheads, can't be bothered looking for it

i reckon 95% of people wouldn't know the difference in a blind test...sits back and waits for people to pipe up and tell me how they can tell the difference.

we had a club night with the guys from z ( new shell name ) came and talked to us

they said that the supermarket fuels have no addatives at all . thats why its cheaper

and the addatives that z and bp put in there fuel are the latest generation

and that almost all of those aftermarket addatives are really old technology that z and bp were putting in the fuels back in the 90's

just some facts


just pisses me off over here we are paying $2.20 a liter for crap 91 .

cost me $100 for 40 liters of 98 at bp the other week

My step dads car uses a factory fitted LPG system so he filled up at Morrisons and it turns out it was full of oil which clogged the system. After a little investigating it also turn out that it has happened to others before.
