Standard MY98 WRX.
Super unleaded vs super unleaded with Miller's octane booster.
Anybody know what difference it may make or have any experience from rolling rolling rolling... road tests?

Remember seeing some dyno figs on Volvo T5s. They put out the full 225bhp with 97 octane, but only give around 200 with 95. Obviously depends on how the ECU manages the boost strategy etc but if its true, 25 extra bhp for an extra £3.50 when you fill up isn't a bad bhp-per-pound ratio ...

is a lot smoother and better fuel economy.
We'll see if it ups bhp at rolling road day on 18th... C
