Probably already been posted before.:ermm:
Just wanted a more up to date outlook, seeing were still in recession and petrol prices continue to rise.
Is it worth paying the extra? Who does? Thoughts?
i think if your doing a track day of spending the day at santa pod then i guess its worth the extra but if your just commuting to work then i wouldnt bother.
you can also buy octane in a can and mix it with 97 octane to get to around 100 but its not good to poodle around on it. BHP IN A CAN!!LOL
Get a nitrous kit.
:hehe:
in the car i put 95 and in the bike 97 or optimax its just by habit though dont know if it makes that much difference
In a recent bike mag test, they put 100 RON Shell Optimax into a new BMW S1000RR and it made a couple of horsepower less than when it was running 97 RON
I don’t actually see the point then?? Not that i use ALL the bhp all day.
Ill fill up with the best when I want the best i.e. track days etc.
Thanks for kinda making it settled in my head!

I’m told, by people I believe, that the secret is to buy fresh unleaded fuel.
Apparently this stuff degrades pretty fast and is best bought from busy outlets with a fast turn over.
Oh, and buy the basic stuff. The turn over on the more expensive “super” is too slow due to the price.
Dont know what mag you saw that in but in the superbike mag, well atleast i think it was that 1, they tested out fuels. The optimax burnt cleaner and gave a small increase in HP.
I always use optimax in my supermoto, dont bother using it in the car though
It was in Performance Bikes, i read the same article.I use normal unleaded in mine, the only time i use the super octane stuff is when its the only pump left on the forecourt:D 119p for standard or 124p for super, 5p per litre and your bike takes roughly 17 litres so for a full tank its cost you 85p more:w00t: bit different if you was filling the car 
17 litres… yeah i get about 6 :w00t:oh and i wont mention i pay about 65p a litre over here
