I'm sold, initial tests on Run to
Melbourne with Van show significant improvement.
More later.
Regards to all not on holidays.

no great science to it, higher octane allows the knock sensors in your vehicle to run the timing at more advanced settings without pinging which delivers more power and economy

After reading a few posts about better fuel consumption, a friend tried it on his 1999 3.5l manual pajro. Found no difference in fuel consumption over 4 tanks.
All we can put it own too is that he only uses low revs - 800 to 2000 so never really drives in the power band.

In a 3.5Lt Pajero that's REALLY outside the power band. They don't do squat till you get over 3,000rpm :--P
For what it's worth, I'm running pulp in the NM at the moment, good results so far, more power, more responsive, better economy (about 1.5lt/100K better bur still testing)
Cheers,
John.

Been a bit busy, so a late reply :-)
Yes, way out of the power band, and it takes alot of concentration with the light throttle settings.
BUT, he foes get 12.5l/100k around town and 11.5l/100k (sometimes a bit less) on the highway, and on ULP!
Find it interesting.
