Default Re: New BP fuels additive announced

Yeah, it's a s*it with dual fuel cars, always worrying about stale fuel. I just top it up with $5-10 every 2-3 weeks. Been using Special 91 cos it's enticing to add that "extra" at the bottom of the cycle vs 98 but 98 should last 3 months. Mobil told me that topping up the way I do with their 91 everything will be fine for 12 months (by which time what you've added a year back is gone)...but I miss 98 esp. given the unique stock tune of an FG Barra:

91 RON is 195 kW and 391 Nm
95 RON is 201kW and 409 Nm
98 RON is 208kW and 420 Nm

Bought mine in VGC at 84k already with SVI but nearly bought a demo black XR6 Mk 11 at $26k with under 200ks on it (showroom car) and was going to get LPI on it, not Orbital the other one. Black is a cow to keep clean and I wanted a "hero" colour so she's a Nitro FG XR6, some nice body/CAI upgrade mods plus Redback straight-through exhaust (which I'd have added) by previous owner and Ford leather seats etc through a Ford connection so essentially the Luxury Pack, plus Technology Pack.

I must admit I miss the 98 kick!
