NPD 100+ octane fuel, anyone tried it?

I filled up 3 weeks ago, BP 98 was $2.30, NPD 100 was $1.95.

Since switching to 100 octane my fuel economy is 9% better and my 'butt dyno' says I've got more power. I love the stuff*

• No, I don't work for NPD

I used to think taking the air filter out made my motorcycle made it go faster. It was all in the mind.

Higher octane might not give more power to something fairly old and low-tech like an E30 BMW, but it can make a big difference with modern ECUs and turbos.
