Octane Boost & fuel additives
vRS Carl:
There was a test done recently by "WHICH" magazine (October edition) that said none of these things actually work.
Is there any documentary evidence to say these things work rather than the "Google Experts" say so?
Carl :happy2:
bowie:
Did which test them in tuned cars ? i.e cars that had been modified to take advantage of the extra octane ?
Chris.
vRS Carl:
I dont think any of the cars were tuned.
But a lot of modern cars ECU will react to the change of octane anyway. Hence with the 2.0 TFSi VAG state it will have less performance and MPG on 95Ron over 98Ron
Just as a side. I lived in germany for 2 years. There Shell V-Power is 100 Octane. My Car (which is at REVO Stage 2+ now) has never made any difference on a RR with 99 or 100 Octane. The MPG was as near as makes no difference the same aswell.
Maybe the one that boosts the octane by 4 (so would turn V-Power into 103 Octane) would have some effect but the others i would be inclined to say are more of a Placebo effect than anything else
Just my Opinion.
Carl :happy2:
