102 RON fuel (plus price

<< < (4/4)

Evilgoat:
Most performance and more modern engines that dont use a static map in the ECU will benifit in some form from this. In my case the engine has been rebuilt and its like filling up with rocket fuel.

Its possible in engines that dont get a power gain that you'll get better economy as the ecu senses the changes in exhaust gas content and backs off the mixture.

glaggs:
Yes. but mainlybecause most modern pump fuel is [!Expletive Deleted!] compared to what used to be sold 15 - 20 years ago. Modern engins are designed to run on a wide range of fuel qualities. The fuel sold in say Brazile or India won't be the same quality as that sold in say Europe or USA. Yet the cars sold have to run on what comes out of the pump. Use any quality or better grade of fuel and you will  get an improvement.

So this would perhaps be good for the classic cars such as the GT6?  :?:

Its perfectly legal to use red on the road, as long as you go and pay the required extra fuel duty on top to the customs and excise, or alternatively (not sure if its still legal these days) farmers use to be able to run comercial vehicles/land rovers on red, but with serious restrictions on the amount of road work they did.
