182 FF (Black Gold)
What about those Nitrous bottles you see for £20 or so! Do they work out of curiosity? 
182 FF (Black Gold)
Use to use it on my old oil burner it worked well at clearing up the enigine and stopped it sounding quite rough on cold starts. My 182 is perfect so not looking to use said products, may try a bottle and see what happens, no harm eh?
But its not Halfords s**t, its from the actual company NOS Halfords happen to sell it. On the box it says something like only for racing use, so it caught my eye a little
Which is exactly why they write 'only for racing use' on the bottle. Because it makes the chavs feel naughty when they're putting it in their road cars. Why would it be just for racing use???? It wouldn't... And if it was, they wouldn't sell it in halfords.
I promise you it will make no difference at all.

A very slight increase in mpg is possible, but nowhere near enough of a gain to justify it's price I'm afraid mate.

So it does nothing then at all? Just asking mind, not planning on sticking some in my fuel cap ! So all it would do is boost the octane in the fuel?
! So all it would do is boost the octane in the fuel?i might just get one and try then at least i can say i tried and failed

I'm just spamming your thread now. Lol. Sorry mate.
It may boost the octane slightly, but no more than just buying v-power or the like. And personally, I don't think my car runs any differently on 95 or 99ron fuel.
You'll just get a placebo effect because you're expecting it to be faster.

Mine runs a lot better on V-Power, feels much much smoother if I cain it, Hmmm just always intrested me about these NOS bottles, now I know there pants!

Running 99 on a 1.4 will do nothing mate at all, IMO throwing money away big time. Stick to 95

so no better mpg as it says?

regards the 1,4 corsa, not the same car i know but similar?

I bet, if I took your car away, filled it up with petrol and asked you to tell me whether it was high octane or not, you wouldn't be able to. Just placebo again IMO. High octane makes a difference if you have a highly tuned N/A car, or a turbo.

Yes mate you will get better MPG but its 5ppl more, you wont get that money back by having something like 1/2mpg more. Just buy the cheaper stuff and you will save more money that way Hope that makes sense?
I can mate, simple. I know my car and exactly what fuel it loves to drink. Supermarket fuel or 95RON makes my car run crap. Maybe I am just seeing it as a placebo but I am 99.9% sure I could tell if you put cheap 95RON fuel in.
182 FF (Black Gold)
Mate its being done by Thorney Motorsport? A bunch of liars! And its only tested agains Tescos own 95 fuel, its crap as it is. All supermarket fuel is. I honestly call bulls**t on a corsa gaining 5BHP more just for using 99RON, HAHA what a load of cobblers.

Some very dubious resuts. Borderling on laughable
Settleddown is right.
The article you're looking at is written by tesco, they're hardly going to say it's s**t are they.
99ron will give you slightly better mpg, but not enough to justify the cost.
MCN tested 99ron fuel against 95ron on a dyno test with a pair of superbikes, both runs on both bikes returned exactly the same bhp and torque figures.
Unless your ecu has the ability to adapt to fuel octane level (which I doubt the Clio does(anyone?)) then it won't make a blind bit of difference to power.
It will however, run a bit more cleanly.

Not really as said in this thread it depends on what your using it for. for example this a 1.2 will make no difference. but this in my other car which is an actual JDM y0! using 97 or 95ron compared to 99 can lose you up to 30bhp as its compensating so it doesnt knock. So if you dont have any 99ron pumps around and you need to run higher RON then its ok.
