^^ I agree. My steering lock gives me more hp than the 2 extra octane points. :D

I found this site. and it shows e10 is the limit for pre 1980 vehicle. therefore e5 will have no effect on corrsions. ARE you driving an old 1980 civic???

Read the whole article and you will understand it better.
i really dont know if its just me but i have advanced timing in my LS and i was told to run it with BP Ultimate as it is 98octane, i tried the Shell Extreme and the car seems to run a little smoother however i think i experience greater throttle response when running the Ultimate???
can any suggest why i would experience this or could the difference be too little for me to pick up???
you must read the article above I provided. It expains all.
wow i also found that taking my number plate holder from my prelude increases my power by 4 KW... :D j/k
i poured optimax extreme E5 last night to test it out...
the pull to red line feels smoother... and a bit slower...
engine bark isnt as loud...
i think i have to push it harder and see what the hype is about..
what u mean by "and a bit slower"?Quote:

Its just more propoganda released by the government to justify their new cause.
Also note that it was published in 2002 and that they use the following examples...
Brazil - A 3rd world country
United States - National Corn Growers Association
Europe - Transport fuel for farmers
Australia - the Sydney/Wollongong basin ...Nuff Said :p
They didnt use daily driving cars as their test sample unless you use Brasil. But if that was the case, we would also looking at having a carnivalle next year and our best samba schools are going to have to make floats and parade down Oxford Street................hmmmmm.
All in all it was to do with the "OIL SHORTAGE" and incase they lost the Iraq supply again.
Just stick to Non Blended 98

Thanks guys.
After 2 weeks of oct100, I am putting oct98 this morning just too see if i can tell the difference.
YES....its feels smoother......but less brisky.
Smoother means the ignition timming/map is more retarted than oct 100.
Usually you will find that more ignition advance/map means the engine will run a bit londer and briskier...DNT get confused with engine pinging.
I will put back to oct 100 tommorow as I know the oct100 is doing its job. I
