try it yourself - you'll get yes's and no's so its not going to help you much unless you try it in your own motor

How longs a peice of string - your never going to answer that question.

Both do a similar job - some people will rate one above the other based on their "preferences".

The only way to give an answer it to get a fully equipped lab set up - with one engine - run both fuels under scientific conditions and prove which one is best - for power/fuel consumption.

As that will no doubt cost a small fortune to set up - and as one company would face the humiliation of defeat - can't see it happening

Oh - and they could test Broquets while they are at it..
