GazzaG60 0 Posted December 11, 2003 depends which way you lok at it. the overall rating isn't used over here whereas in US they use average of the 2 RON and MON. they get 94. out best goes probly 93 tops. so it aint that good. IIRC its 100 RON and 86MON so 100+86/2=93 so its probly not as good as what the US gets still and we pay shite loads. so add toluene for a 15 gallon tank 14 gallon of ultimate +1 gallon tol= 94.4RON US or 101.3 UK not 100% on maths but pretty sure.

dr_mat 0 Posted December 11, 2003 Have you *seen* the price of toluene lately!!! ;) If you're messing with toluene, make well sure you don't get it on ANYTHING other than where it's intended. It'll dissolve most things and is rather carcinogenic. Have fun out there kids.. :) Uncle Matt. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ross.taylor 0 Posted December 11, 2003 I asked in my local BP and they said that it is 97. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 0 Posted December 11, 2003 Seems OK, filled the tank with it before the rolling road day at Star P and got a good run. Fuel could have helped not sure ?? Sandy G60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6paul 0 Posted December 11, 2003 used normal unleaded before rr at at star and some stp octane and go an excellent run. How much dearer per tank is the ultimate compared to normal as the bottle of octane stuff only cost a 5 spot from halfords and i ended up with 210bhp (induction and exhaust) on my vr6! could be a consideration yes or no?

Spykee 0 Posted December 11, 2003 depends which way you lok at it. the overall rating isn't used over here whereas in US they use average of the 2 RON and MON. they get 94. out best goes probly 93 tops. so it aint that good. i lived in California for a few years and the max RON out there is 91!!! mt Corrado hated it cos its a euro version the RON there is 87, 89 & 91 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
