Ahhhh I stand corrected. But as you said some of the "better" octane boosters have a decent increase, not all
As for the idle I honestly dont know. The information I have is written info form the makers of the fuel, maybe Mobile does idle better?
Oh and another thing they noted was that "octane boosters" are sh*t! You know on the back of these bottles how it say "raises octance level up to 4 points" yeah well thats "0.4". What this means is you would be getting 96.4 instead of 96. Woopie doo! Dont waste your money ppl.
I was reading a big write up on the quality of fuels in Australia and it had some VERY interesting info in it. Personally I only user Optimax but once my new car arrives I wont be using it anymore. It turns out of Vortex, Optimax, BP Ultimate and Synergy 8000 that only two of these fuels have a true 98RON level - Optimax and BP Ultimate. It is even stated on Mobil and Caltex's web sites that their high grade fuel ranges between 95 to 97 and that’s piss poor!
Another thing I found was that BP Ultimate is a higher grade fuel than Optimax due to the fact they add additives to Optimax to get it high octane levels where as BP is brewed that way and has less aromatics than Optimax. Interesting hey!
As for higher grade fuels - Elf LMS. This stuff is shit hot and can provide up to a 30rwk gain in power in cars like Skylines etc. LMS is available in either 200 liter or 50 liter drums. Price: $4.85 per liter (200litre drum), $5.30 per liter (50litre drum).
As LMS is an unleaded fuel, no CAMS license is required to purchase the fuel only problem is as you can see it’s pricey but well worth it for a day at the drags. Should get a few runs with a 50 liter drum
Yeah definatly a mood thing, I range from Hybrid to Fear Factory. I love Prodigy, Adam Freeland and anything else breaky, Metal, Trash, Trance you name it. If it sounds good I say PUMP IT! Oh and DMX does kick ass!
Yeah thats a point I raised. I feel a little bit more notice is needed for some events. Not all of them just some of the better cruises etc. I think 3 or 4 weeks is nice. No excusses then.
Hippy - I was with Famous Insurance and no the whole car was sold.

Hiroshima Screamer - Yeah did, I pulled out my remote start Viper alarm. Left the rest on.
