you must be somewhere from europe or middle east


In the USA, we only got 87/89/91/93 and some states got 94. Different octane ratings, but all euro cars should have at least 91, except VW i think, they can run on donkey ****

There's a thread on this in the C32s and I run the Sunoco 100 GT. Its about 6-7 bucks a gallon and does allow for a nice advance.

Question
How much does the octane increase from 91 affect our horsepower?

05 e55 and an 07 ML320 cdi
i use tesco 99ron..not sure what that is compared to what you guys in the states use, but the car is definately quicker compared to tesco standard 95 ron..

not a massive difference, but definately there.
