Old Petrol - Octane Reduction

[Johnny]

Hey Ross, thanks for the kind words!

Again today i gave my car a thrash and added more of the octane booster and still not changes. My knocks remained constant at 15-23ish which is probably road noise.

Like i said before i will wait for a hot day to see if there is any changes but that might not be for a little while.

Hope this info saves you from the 20dollar curiosity but ill let you know if anything changes on a hot day.

Today i added the rest of the bottle of octane booster to the tank containing only about 10litres of fuel.

Highest knock reading was 28 at 7800rpm so still very safe but up a couple of points. The road was as smooth as possible to reduce road noise registering a reading.

Boost spiked to 1.2bar as it was a hard launch in 1st/2nd. Daaaamn my car is fast: 0-100 in under 5seconds easy!

I will buy the product again when summer comes and then do some more.

Well i have had a look on a few on a few major websites like Shell and BP etc..

Most of them claim that there fuel will not lose any octane if its stored for a 3-6 months in the right conditions!

So im thinking it would be alright to boost with fuel that is only a month old..

Well it should be according to what they are saying lol
