All info comes from Evo edition 087 so I make no claim to the verasity of their claims:
They claim that the following results are the highest to lowest: Golf Gti Turbo test car
Sunco Racing fuel: 218 bhp and 248 ft lb
BP Ultima: 212 bhp and 252 ft lb
Tescos: 212 bhp and 242 ft lb
Optimax: 209 bhp and 242 ft lb
BP 95 ron: 204 bhp and 242 ft lb
Shell 95 ron: 205 bhp and 234 ft lb

Tescos 99 ron is 5% bio-ethanol, giving higher octane than super hence 99 ron........... Racing fuel is quoted as 115 ron

Here endeth the lesson........... how boring is that. :sleeping_2:

Funny enough BP call their diesel Ultima and their super unleaded Ultimate............... Evo obviously were running the golf on heavy oil not petrol :shock:
Sunco has the same rating as Avgas........ piston engine aero fuel.... used to run my rally car on the stuff... last count Sunco was 315p a ltr, Avgas is currently 138p ltr........ same as my local garage is charging for pucker four star........
