It worked for me in the past ... remember when super unleaded was 15p a litre more than standard stuff? It worked out cheaper to tip in a can of this per tank on top of 95 octane.

Without it, my car pinked on 95 - ok with the 98 or boosted 95

SUL is sometimes hard to get where I live, so the Griff lives on 95 RON + 50ml of Nitrous Formula booster (per tank).

With the current price difference (when I can get SUL) it works out much the same - unless we get a 5p/l token from the supermarket.

The octane booster also contains cleaning chemicals, which I'm sure is a marketing thing and does no real good. I prefer the hoon approach to engine cleaning
