should have mentioned this in my opening post. I am not paying to change my ECU and remap for 95.

Given you can't travel faster than the local goats, is this really a problem at all?

WHat car is it? A lot of modern cars will adapt automatically.

Fair enough. I personally would. Probably end up with better performance/economy etc.

If you keep using octane booster, you will need a constant supply which will end up costing a lot more than just a map. However, your car may run just fine on 95.

Move?

Buy a diesel.

Barrel of Sunoco?

Just chuck in 95. You're overreacting.

He runs and S2000 same as mine. They absolutely HATE 95. Run like a bag of nails, although they do run, just badly.

Odd. Mine runs fine on 95. Just has a less punchy VTEC and maybe a little slower

If I could put in 95 without any drawbacks I would not have a problem, would I? :rolleyes:

The car runs fine and does it really make a difference when you can't exactly drive fast over there.

If you are still worried find some toluene

Octane booster.

I gathered that much, but I assume they are not all made the same.

I'll take research elsewhere rather than appease scrub posters here.

No, it does not.

Millers. Done?

Do you think anyone needs it in mainland UK.

Ill take my answers elsewhere next time.

How does the car run "better" on SUL then? Purely out of interest.

I'd imagine that the cost of having to constantly put in octane booster would soon be equal to the cost of a remap to 95 octane instead - plus a remap could give you more power than you currently have on 98RON.
