found this. you may already know a bout it but if not check this out. be sure to read the blurb- they are claiming between 37 and 60 bhp increase in tuned engines

Oh, let me guess that the petrol companies will remove 99 octane and leave us all paying over double what we are now.

J/k but wouldn't surprise me.

I've never tried high octane fuel or even octane booster. Would it really make a difference to the car's performance???

IIRC your timing has to be adjusted for it to see the real benefits

There's a couple near me I think - Newbury Park and Rainham.
There's also a little "Top Power" independent place a couple of miles away - always had ridiculous prices and never been there till I realised they're selling 4star LRP - thats meant to have a respectable Octane level isn't it?

I have just stuck in 25 ltrs- £60.00. F*ck me, dont care, what a difference. Tank was completely empty 0 miles showing for 10 miles prior to fill up, and filled up at Egham Hill bp £2.42l.
This is no bS guys, I cannot beleive the difference. Shame it is sooooooo expensive.

Anyone spot the Newport Pagnell (Aston Martin Service) and Egham Hill (Maranello Ferrari) connections?
Are any of the others near anywhere of note?
Yes, I noted Silverstone...

Aye, now you mention it....... A20 london road Maidstone area- near Brands hatch.....
After some more research, I am going to do some more research on this fuel, Been told it cannot make any difference without a map for 102. Still maintain it felt A LOT quicker. may have been the "placebo effect"

2 in london/essex borders don't make much sense - unless Ford have started making the GT there
