As your car is a LPT - and therefore running at baseboost - you won't see any increase in performance. On a FPT however, is a whole different story. I used Shell V-Power (Optimax) through Germany, Austria and Italy last summer. Here in DK, you can only get V-Power 97 Octane, and regular unleaded 98 octane. I tell you, with the German V-Power 100 octane, a FPT 9000 is running like at bat out of hell - whouw! You can certainly feel the increase in performance. -- ----------------------------------- DyrlĘgebiler - Det intelligente valg
