I know that the top speed seemed to be higher with Optimax. Obv may be other factors involved...
Optimax: got 139 on the clocks, not hitting the limiter.
Normal Unleaded: 138 on the clocks hitting the limiter.

I wasn't driving, but the ones who were know who they are. :wink: :lol:

infact the reason why most people get a perfomance gain out of optimax is as follows..

it costs more, so they can't afford a full tank when they'd usually fill up..

therefore the car is lighter.....

therefore it accelerates faster :rolleyes:
