Should I use; 100 octane ... "Shell-Optimax-Extreme".
I mean... is the ethanol additive - safe and OK to use in the Crossfire?
Cost is AUD $1.25 /Litre.
Hi
A friend of mine filled up his BMW 330i with the 100 octane stuff. Here it's called Shell V-Power (*lol*). He promised to feel a slight gain of performance, acceleration. But after we talked a little longer he admitted that it also could have been an illusion only ...
I only put 95 octane in my XF. It's cheaper and works very fine even at high speed (220+ km/h). Tried once 98, but absolutely no difference.
Don't believe the bull$hit they tell in the ads about more power etc.
Cheers
