Filled up with Bp ultimate does that count
It counts!  That's 98oct yes? Highest pump fuel we get here in Oregon is 92oct and 93oct back East.

I believe they grade Octane differently in the states though.

Quote
UK std unleaded "95"octane = is what they call 90/91 octane in the USA

UK "super" "97/99"octane = is what they call 92 /93 octane in the USA

I've read about this before, but forget all the details. I think the difference is one is octane and the other is RON.
Kind of like the difference between kilowatts and horse power.

It's because the US (and Canada) measures in AKI and pretty much the rest of the world uses RON.

Quote
Research Octane Number (RON)
The most common type of octane rating worldwide is the Research Octane Number (RON). RON is determined by running the fuel in a test engine with a variable compression ratio under controlled conditions, and comparing the results with those for mixtures of iso-octane and n-heptane.

Quote
Anti-Knock Index (AKI) or (R+M)/2
In most countries, including Australia, New Zealand and all of those in Europe, the "headline" octane rating shown on the pump is the RON, but in Canada, the United States, Brazil, and some other countries, the headline number is the average of the RON and the MON, called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), and often written on pumps as (R+M)/2). It may also sometimes be called the Posted Octane Number (PON).

Quote
Difference between RON, MON, and AKI
Because of the 8 to 12 octane number difference between RON and MON noted above, the AKI shown in Canada and the United States is 4 to 6 octane numbers lower than elsewhere in the world for the same fuel. This difference between RON and MON is known as the fuel's Sensitivity, and is not typically published for those countries that use the Anti-Knock Index labelling system.

Yes...it looks like it.  :surprised: Been through two now on my '07. It's always the outer boot too.

Yes! :congrats:

I love those Swiffer dusters...inside and outside when I arrive at a show or GTG.  :drinking:

Oh, I wanted to share something I do often...I get out the leaf blower after I vacuum(I know, Hoover. LOL) and dust. Amazing how much more will be blown away following the treatment...open all doors and hatch and wooosh...on low speed!

It's heartbreaking isn't it?!

I came out to one of mine split and after getting all of the gear out to fix it my second boot split no more than a week later!!!

I'm sure you're more than competent to fix this @AJP but I took a few quick snaps on my build thread if you want to refresh your memory of the work involved!

Had the Zenec 2010 fitted yesterday, just have to work out how to use it. It's a bit different to Kenwood's and pioneer's that i have had in the past.
