Millers Octane Plus

[bobjebb]

Question, I've never used it before so excuse my ignorance (please remove if it's in the wrong thread)

How do people generally organise their adding of Millers? I mean do you have bottles rolling about in the car so when you get to 'empty' you can put a bottle in? Or is it OK to chuck one in with not much fuel in the tank and then fill up when it's convenient. I'm moving to an area where 98 or above is nowhere to be seen so am interested in a couple of boxes but not if I have to stick to some strict regime that I know I won't follow!

Bob, I just keep a few bottles in the car and add it part way through the fill up. The bottles are only small (250ml) so fit in the little storage thingy nicely. If you add it when convenient, you will never be sure how strong the mix is.

I use it with VPower, it makes it 101 octane

thanx for that dave i will have a look at getin a bottle t give it a go! 1 more question is it safe 4 my car and do i have to do anything to the ecu to take the extra bit of juice? also how would it do in a bike

[DavidT]

No idea about bikes, sorry.

Assuming your car is a B5 or newer, the ECU will automatically make use of the stronger fuel.

[shineydave]

if it's the later Gixer with FI it should be fine
