Yeah at the moment but hopefully it will roll out across all the stations! (Fingers crossed!)

[Adie]

We've got it at Northampton also :D

[norkep]

Looks like I'll be paying a trip to Northants then, not far to go. :D

[Mr Morse]

Anyone spotted it further North yet?

[MacRS200]

I've been using it for weeks in the Tezza, and at 96.9 a litre it not majorly expensive.

[TheDon]

i have used it several times and am very impressed, felt just as good as optimax when driving hard

[dipstick]

Got a tankful in the GS at the moment - difference between that and anything else is, so far, zip.

TVR loves it though!

They way TVRs drink fuel you'd think they love all fuel!!

[Mr Singh]

Available in MK too...

Still got half a tank of Optimax.... think i'll go for a drive, won't take more than 20mins on physco mode to empty it lol

Been in my area just over a month now.

The consensus here was that it didn't seem to make any notiecable difference and that you might have to reset the ECU for it to be recognised and taken advantage of.

Just for info my local is Tesco Yeading

Well, it's possible to get better mpg from the TVR than the Lex, although not if you actually drive as intended of course. TVR isn't THAT bad though - 20 to 30 ish unless you are Taking Full Advantage.

:D :D :D :D :P

[Wosket]

my local tesco have been selling this for a while now but.........

went to fill up today and it's no more, just 95 ron :o

new 95 ron stickers over where the 99 ron sticker used to be.

[Kremmen]

I'll check mine tomorrow then

[wills]

But this stuff makes no difference to GB bought LEXUS , it only makes a difference to imported motors like my 2.2 VTEC from Tokyo

[Mr Morse]

If you want to make real race fuel, I mean +8-10 points RON, then mix 20% Xylene in your tank.

Xylene = paint thinners

It will blow a shedload of smoke out of your engine, but WILL give you the power....

Try it if you dare :shutit:

[dipstick]

Acetone is the way to go surely?

[Mr Morse]

Acetone is the way to go surely?

No - acetone is a ketone and has a different petrochemical structure to aromatic hydrocarbons such as xylene (or toluene, which can also be used in conjunction with xylene)

[Steve]

we have 99 here in bournemouth Tescos

Well all I can say is that there are a load of experiments with acetone going on that seem to show more oomph and better mpg!

[Kremmen]

99 Octane still available yesterday at Tesco Yeading (Sunday 2nd)

Try it with optimax as well :D

The only thing I would be worried about is the fuel pump and seals throughout the system. Acetone is very good at eating through things like that so would it have an effect in the long term when used in very small quantities?
