Cool


I hope that Tescos follow suit.

All my local Tesco does currently is normal unleaded, benzene free unleaded, 4 star and diesel.

Scotty,

Yes I think you are right. Millers claim a 2 point increase per bottle in 50 litres of fuel. Adding 2 bottles should give a 4 point increase.

Get my Millers trade so I'll ask the Millers rep next time he calls. (Only just called so will be a couple of weeks)

Cheers
Lee

Question

Please feel free to shoot me down in flames but I was under the impression if you change from 95 to 97 you have to reset the ECU in order to gain performance. This is what I do and there is a big difference.

Scotty,

Word of warning!

Millers advise not to put more than one bottle in per 50 litres of fuel on cat equipped cars as damage to the cat may result.

Fine on cat free cars though.

Gary,

Opinion differs, some find an increase in performance or fuel economy. I find the engine runs a lot smoother at lower rpm and pick up is better.

Although the ecu should compensate for lower octane 95ron UL, the risk of pre-detenation is vastly reduced with 97 ron SUL or octane booster.

Have a look
