think it was £2.48 per litre
it says race fuel somewhere on the pump
from looking at the pump i think you have to pay for it before you fill up as well
Apparantly they did a test on TV a while ago using two Skoda Octavia VRS's, one using 95 and one using 102 and there was over 40 bhp difference?? surely the one using 102 would need a re-map on a rolling road beforehand though??

I think it has been available for a while, i remember reading something about it in max power ages ago. that's the first time i have seen it on a forecourt, which was on the main road into Portsmouth city centre

im gonna put some in before i go to the rollers next time
but then once mapped you would have to carry on using it!

you just admitted you read max power mate. you might get banned for saying such things
you didn't see the way i tried to cover my tracks, by saying ages ago!

But once mapped on a particular fuel then you really have to stay on that map as you could muck up the map... ruin your engine as its the wrong fuel different combustion..........

unlikely on a car that isnt super highly tuned mate. with the setup i have an ecu made out of resistors strung together with solder wire would run it fine
it wont do it no harm, im sure there will be a bit of leeway to allow the higher octane to produce good results as it should allow the ecu to advance timing a tad more and produce a bit more power!
