this has probably been posted, but i havent been on here for nearly 3 months, (trying to remain undestracted from my honours project but finaly cant resist)

looks quite interesting tho 102 octane point fuel from BP

102

intersting, but no doubt very expensive!

its only avalible down south :(!

What price is it as i may shove some in my tank as ive had a full tank for over a month now and decided to use some of it finally!

I think its something like £2.50 per litre.

stuff that then

Nice but expensive.

Good idea is to make buddies at a small airport

Then fill some jerrycans with aviation fuel (MON 100). Best is the one with blue color, The green is of equal quality but contains less lead. (yes, it's leaded fuel so doesn't work well on cars with a cat)

Mix that up 50/50 with regular 98RON and there you go, RACE FUEL!!

surely this is all a waste unless you have your car mapped to take advantage of the extra octane? I watched demos at the Autosport show where BP did just that to show what could be gained, but the Coupe ECU isn't intelligent and does not adapt to better quality fuel in the same way that say an Impreza one does

If you can run switchable maps by any means, then using the 102 would give the advantage once you had created a map for it

Gtec2 im sure it would help with a bit but its more for the fact the better fuel like Vpower cleans your engine out more

For the same ignition advance it will produce more power I expect given that the majority of other race fuels do. This is slightly different to most race fuels though in that it is road legal and that means it probably is a lot safer to run on a normal car than real race fuels (that usually have higher oxygen content and so run lean on a normal setup)

Noticed there is now a place in Egham that sells it so I might try it out !
