MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 6m 8d Posted 22/08/12 06:47 AM Share Posted 22/08/12 06:47 AM So I'm guessing you can't use it if your car is tuned on 98? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran 4 tanks of it and couldnt notice a difference. Just sticking with ultimate from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ping so it must be at least 98 RON. Depending on the price cycle, it's a fair bit cheaper than ultimate also. Paid $1.52 last week - ultimate was $1.69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
