optimax unleaded

[lenny]

What does the forum think of using optimax unleaded instead of normal unleaded.I know its 6pence more a litre my mate who has a vfr says it seems to give more power. Has anyone used optimax?

optimax

Can't speak for anyone else but both myself & my lad both put optimax in, This stopped the pinking that we'd both noticed on motorway ,pillion+fully loaded at 80mph ish when accelarating hard.Shaun at Rainbow told me to try it, I now use 2 tanks of unleaded to 1 of optimax or super if touring heavily loaded. result no more pinking.
Ps Pinking was worryingly noticable if wearing open face helmet
Just use if when necessary

I get another 4-5 mpg when using Super Unleaded in the UK, which increases the range and makes it financially viable - can't see any downside to it...

Tried it in my 1100, and the family car no noticable difference.
