Just filled up (?45[:|]) with Ultimate and there is definately a difference when driving. I've been using the standard Shell unleaded with a spot of Optimax now and again. Not sure of it's my imagination, or trying to justify the Optimax but I think there was an increase with this as well - not as much as BP though.
Be using again when finances allow. Seems to be more responsive and not, quieter I would say, more 'exhausty'/sporty type noise. We're not taking V6 here, just a noticable improvement of my V8 sounding 8V![

BTW, when I was in BP, they have a cotainer of that high octane booster. Does this actually work? Just got me thinking since the Ultimate is 97 RON and seemed an improvement. What do you do, just pour a touch in when you fill up? Stuff can't do much for the engine long term though?? Just curious. OK, i'll be honest - i'm looking to give some Chavsters a go at the lights[:$] Might try a trick on the missus before she gets in the car as well. Second thoughts, that could turn nasty[6]. Won't bother.
Tried a search on all of this, but it doesn't seem to be working.
It's a 2.0L btw. Dunno if 1.8 or any other owners notice it.
Cheers,
Craig.
