There was a Group Buy on NF. NOt sure if its still on, but probably worth checking.

You would need much less NF than Millers so you cant compare the price of the two like that.

You'll probably need 1 bottle of millers compared with 1/3 of a bottle of NF(so works of the same price-wise).

I'm sure someone else can confirm the exact qty?

not used it b4 but:

One bottle treats 50 litres of unleaded fuel at £4.50

unleaded petrol = 83.9p per litre
Optimax = 90.9 per litre

difference of 7p.
£0.07 x 50 (50 litres) = £3.50.

if my maths are correct use optimax everytime

Ray: He needs to use Optimax(or super) + Octane Booster

For Millers octane booster Go to either....

www.scoobymania.co.uk

or

www.camskill.co.uk

Personally i belive this is adequate. Optimax + Millers OB (2 octane) = 100 Ron fuel.

NF is too expensive for everyday use.....

P.S Millers quatity can be halved for cars with no cats... 1 bottle can treat 25litres of fuel for extra perfromance...
