Havnt seen it in Newy.

But definately interested.

Let me know how it goes

I've been tempted to try it in my R33 GTS-T as it's rich as hell, but not sure if it's worth it...

A mate put it in his Evo IX and reckon's it goes noticably better.

[rukus]

how much more expensive is it from normal optimax?

[GTshortie]

i think 3c more say

Unleaded 109.9

Optimax (98oct) 119.9

Optimax Extreme(100oct + 5% eth) 122.9

for example to give you an idea.

I'm on my 4th tank now and overall it find it better than 98. It's a bit inconsitent though. On my 1st and third tanks it was better on a full tank but on 2nd and expecially my fourth it was better towards the end. Anyone else have similar issues?

when you say better.. what do u mean exactly? better in what way?

consumption? power? does it make u horny?

All 3.

It's hard to tell about the consuption coz I've been fanging it twice as hard with the slightly better take off and smoother gear changes. Couln't help myself. (Og...and I got around the same K's to a tank than when I was not fanging it on 98)

I got a tankful the other day. I drive a stock r33 s11.

Have to admit that the car goes noticeably better, with the biggest gains experienced at mid revs (probably because of my restrictive exhaust), but it's def got more torque.

Potential for better economy when doin the granny thing.

I'm just scared of it eating away the plastic components of my fuel system, so i'll only be using it every once in a while. I saw that thread that showed the pics of hardware that's eaten away in ethanol. Not a pretty sight.

i filled up today with it. car feels alot smoother.

but im worried about the whole ethanol thing too.

[fatz]

i cant belive it costs more for someting that is less expensive to make

[Kennedy]

5% ethanol. Is that really an amount to be worried about?

No sir, I don't like it. I have shelled out money on our Mazda here for new valves and seats because of Ethanol. WOn't touch my Skyline. Not for an extra 2 RON and not for the imaginary 20kw (I don't believe it).

No sireeee.
