Optimax all the time. 84.9p
Same here, its the same price too, 95 is 78.9p so difference is not that much.

use Optimax where available, otherwise other "premium" grades (which are generally 97 RON rather than 98 of Optimax) - need to go to Germany and fill up on their 100 RON rocket fuel though !!!
Kathy can you take a tanker with you and bring us all some back please?
Simon.
But thats even more expensive than optimax!Quote: Originally posted by Mike T on 15 March 2005
otherwise buy more beer!

The standard ecu is mapped to run on slurry so I wouldnt worry to much!!!
Optimax and others make a slighlty bigger bang but will only really increase power with some ignition advance to take advantage.
Get a chip, go Optimax - otherwise buy more beer!
very true mike...lol mine is chipped!!
was it worth spending like 500 quid for 4-6 bhp ?? then paying through the nose to run it on suff thatll make maybe 0.5% difference ?Quote: Originally posted by clarkiev6 on 15 March 2005

did it up the limiter ? seems as if there is a lot more at 7k but ECU is already cutting back fuel at that point .. sorry for the hijackQuote: Originally posted by clarkiev6 on 15 March 2005
i gained 12 hp for £250 +vat.... i think it was abit pricey yes..
i like the better mid range torque i gained the most..

I thought the limiter was set to 7150 though?Quote: Originally posted by clarkiev6 on 15 March 2005
fully synthetic oil helped as well less friction . it was smoother at 7500 rpm.
As soon as i have left the petrol station the gauge starts going down, after 70 miles it is halfway. Get 280 miles out of a tank thoughQuote: Originally posted by Andy D on 15 March 2005
Which leads to the next question ... what are the dynamics of the fuel gauge on the V6? Linear? Stays high for ever and then plummets like a stone? When it hits the bottom you can drive for 1 mile ... 20 miles?

when the needle hits zero .. there is still a comfortable 70 miles left in it .. but when the yellow light comes on ..make a bee line for some fuel .. reckon mine has got about 5 miles MAX when orange is on !!Quote: Originally posted by Andy D on 15 March 2005
