For the price of the ultimate you could afford to run VP racing C16 race gas!!!

Personally id rather run Vpower and methanol... cheap and works very very well

I know when i was running race engines in my skis i used to run VP or a 50:50 mix of optimax and avgas.

Avgas is available on a pump in Bicknacre

Given the expense of this stuff, and given that not that many people will be using it we must wonder how long it sits in the tanks for at the petrol station. Does petrol go off

Do you look at the price of petrol when you fill up? I don't. I just make sure its the superplus/vmax stuff and fill the tank up. How many people have filled up their tanks only to discover that it's cost them over double their normal price . Or even worse........ the people who only put £10-00 (not EmEm I note ) only to find that they've only put a thimble full in

Good idea. I can just imagine Mr Chavtastic filling up with his last £10-00 for the month in his Rover only to find it just about gets him of the forecourt
