They're the worst, in this case they serve only to make the increase look bigger, and make it look like a 1.6 Focus does 0mpg rather than 19mpg.
That's the statistic which is the icing on the cake, 19mpg from a 1.6 Focus, I have a hard time getting my 2.5 V6 that low. Or is that because I run it on 97/99?
Exactly, it's utterly terrible practice. They havn't even labelled the broken axis correctly. Utterly, utterly unprofessional of them.
Tesco sponsoring Thorney Motorsport. What a SUPRISE!

I love that paragraph, it includes such amazing lines as:
"It has also been the fuel behind Thorney Motorsport's endurance racing, including the Vauxhall VX220's epic finish in the 2008 Britcar 24-Hour"
Oh my god it finished the race! the fuel must be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dispute the £1m facility claim.
Me too after having work there, its tacked on the back of a Vauxhall dealer and its just a typical car workshop.
Park a few expensive cars there and they can refute that claim I suppose...

It's odd that on those dyno graphs, on some the 95 is blue and the 99 is red, and on others it's the other way round.
Almost as if they just labelled the graphs so as to make the 99 uppermost, regardless.
Still, it's a graph, so it must prove their point!
I hope Thorney Motorsport starts taking Clubcard vouchers soon and look forward to seeing their new blue and white logo.

Why are the file names blurred I wonder? It's not scientific to use the fuel light or to hide things.
Earlier on I spotted:
- Some of the tests were done in June, others in November
- The ambient/intake air temps were not recorded and thus no adjustments could be made as required by the DIN standard (making any power gain claims irrelevant)
- Two of the cars were recorded as having done their power runs in 2nd gear rather than 3rd or 4th (which are far more likely to be be the gears closest to giving a 1:1 ratio)

for a start. thorney
some guy on clubgti was saying how its meant to be 102 ron etc and how thorney told him so
ive been out and logged ignition retard/correction on both this and shell optimax and the differences were negligable. one might be one degree better at one part of the range and then a degree behind later on
