The octane booster topic
KieranM:
I'm going to be doing a road trip around the west coast and the top of Scotland and I'm pretty sure that it'll only be 95RON available but my car is APR tuned to 98RON. Hopefully half a bottle per tank should do the job to keep the RON count up as it will be getting its head kicked in and I don't want to be giving it a kicking if it's only running 95RON

Yeah, it's really frustrating! You used to be able to buy 98 Ron quite easily. And Maxol (for a while) sold a fuel that was 10% ethanol.
But it's all gone now! All you can get is poxy 95 everywhere.
So, I'm chuffed with the booster, even if it is a bit pricey!

I buy this the NF in bottles of 5 from this crowd. Lovely lady called Cheryl handles the shipping etc. She's great to deal with.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has a good (or bad) experience with it :happy2:

I tried this and noticed a slight increase in performance but actually started to get a slightly better MPG response on my car (I always use momentum or v power on my car but don't use it on track - just normal city driving)
