I don't think this could be used in a car without some mapping going on.
When I was at ADR Motorsport in Chesterfield once I was having a look at their Shell Racing fuel that they stock there as they are the official distributors for this.
Was told that when this sort of octane fuel was put into one of their Evo's the timing had to be advanced by 18degrees to compensate.
Whether or not the VVT system on Scoobs could compensate I am not sure of.

the gains for using this stuff are way outweighed by the cost
at over £110 per tank, its outrageous. there is no way on earth my car would see a 60bhp gain, wouldnt the car need a specific map on the stuff to see that???
there are far cheaper power mods to be had that will produce better gains
by the time you have used 10 tanks of the stuff, you could have got a TEK3 remap for that price

Spoke to a guy at work about this stuff and as well as telling me that it worked out to about £11 a gallon 
and that it was only being sold at race circuits as a track day fuel. Still got to be bloody rich to use it though !.

Does the ECU not compenstate for the diffferent fuel on a UK Sti?
I asked the dealer here in Ireland if I should get her remaped for 95 as its the highest octane we have and he said the ECU will sort it out and there was no need for it.

it doesn't mention if it has a BioEthanol content in it. If it is over a certain amount it will damage seals etc in the fuel system / injectors. Tesco 99 is below that level, but what is it in this case, if applicable.
Much as I would like to ry it for fun, or to mix with tesco 99 (if that is possible, I'm sure it must be) I won't touch it till I now about BioEthanol levels.

the legal limit for ethanol in fuel is 5% and tesco 99 ron is at that level. It is perfectly safe for your engine in terms of longevity as it is tested for long term use before it is released.

surely the point is not the £110 per tank full, wouldnt you simply have 20 litres in a can for a day at the strip or whatever?
Not run on it all the time.
